My wife left
me, now I have no one!
Q:
I doubt anyone will ever read this and if someone does, no one will care. I
always thought I was put on this planet to do great things, to love and be
loved. I spent my Birthday alone except for my 3 beautiful schnauzers that
stayed by my side all day and night, because they sensed my despair. I am
married and have been with the woman I love for 20 years and she moved out
on Oct. 29th, in 3 hours, while I was helping a friend in need. I never
dreamed that I would come home to realize that a nightmare had begun that
will never end. We have spoken a few times and she even came by today to get
more of her things, see our precious dogs, and even bring me a birthday
present with a card that said very little. This was very painful for her as
she got things together and we both took them to her car. I tried to hold
back my pain and watched her as she drove off.
I wish
I was never put on this planet because there is nothing special about me;
just a man that has failed now that I have lost my partner. I sit here
writing to TUT, The Universe, or just to time and space, wanting all this
pain to end. My whole life has been filled with pain and I would not wish my
existence on this earth for more than 50 years on my worst enemy. I am
broken, plain and simple. My dogs are by my side as tears run down my cheek
and I know I have to stay for them but at times the pain becomes so great I
think they might be better off without me, like everyone else that is in my
world. For now, I stay and care for them, and exist, because exist is all that
is in front of me. Maybe in her mind she had good reason to leave, but all
my hopes and dreams left when she did. I guess I wrote to you because I am
angry. Each day I receive something from you and I do read them carefully,
but the Universe does not feel that way about me, nor will it ever. The
Universe loves to see me in pain now, alone, with no angels in sight to be
by my side.
A: Please
don’t judge your life, or future, based on the extraordinarily
challenging time you are now facing. At such times, it’s easy to see
things out of perspective.
I have no amazing
advice for you except to tell you that I, like virtually everyone else
on the planet, know the excruciating pain of a broken heart, and as
trite as this may sound at the moment: Give it time. Time does heal all
things. You will be happy
again. Just do your best to focus your thoughts to other things, create
some adventures for you and your dogs to share, reach out to other
friends, and perhaps family, and while these things may not seem to make
the slightest difference, they will. And as the weeks go by, it will get
better and better, easier and easier.
You are an amazing
guy, worthy of joy! Give it time and be kind to yourself.
