I’m not broken… I’m shattered.
Posted by wet bird | Under Uncategorized Monday Jan 25, 2010I found something on another blog dealing with a break-up. A lot was going on there that obviously doesn’t apply to me, but there were some common things, and just universal truths I think in this situation. So I have plucked some thoughts out as they express a lot of what I have and am going through.
You say you love me… but you don’t. You love someone I can’t be, you love someone you want me to be, but you don’t love who I am, in fact, you hate me.
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you what you expected, everything you wanted from me is everything that I could never be, that is why it’s so frustrating for you, I understand, but you don’t love me. You love someone I can’t be.
We have to carry on.
I have to carry on, because I can’t live this way…
I’m not broken… I’m shattered.

What is ironic is that my wife could have written this about me and it would be pretty accurate (except the hate part, I don’t hate her).
But I don’t love her. I do love someone she can’t be. But what I wanted from her, was, I don’t think unreasonable.
I wanted a wife I could trust, who would be faithful and treat me like a Christian woman should treat a Christian husband.
So no, she couldn’t give me what I expected, what I wanted from her, she could never be.
But I don’t think that what I wanted was too much to ask for. An honest, faithful, loving wife.
