In My Game 1 Strike And Your Out

|

Its really weird how thing work out in life. In a previous post I had asked about you wife or husband or boy friend hitting you and how many times was OK before you left them. Little did I know but it turns out I was asking for advice for myself. Honestly I wasn't though cause "Josh" had never hit me before and I was looking for advice for a friend. Oh sure there was the I'm sorry I did that but you just made me so mad sob story. So that's the reason he went to his parents by himself for Thanksgiving. He came back Sunday and yes his shit was packed and waiting by the door for him. In baseball you may get 3 strikes but this is real life not a game. In my version of the game your allowed 1 strike and your out the door. It's really funny now that I think about it. You never really know how good you use to have it until its not there anymore. Someone spending to much money on you seems trivial to getting hit.

Just like the story of the Prodigal son in the Bible, those who love you will always take you back. He didn't realize just how well he had it until he lost it all. He swallowed his pride and expected to go back on his knees and beg them to take him back. When he got back they welcomed him home with open arms. They had missed him as much as he had come to miss them. Remember the old Diamond Rio song: I'll start walking your way you start walking mine...we meet in the middle 'neath that old Georgia pine...we gain a lot of ground when we both give a little...There ain't no road to long when we meet in the middle.
Don't block out those from your past who truly love ya Mike 'kay?

Wow. Getting hit one time is one two many. It leads to more. I am glad you were strong enough to make the decision and move on.

I am truly sorry that you were abused by "Josh", but glad to hear that you won't be sitting around waiting for the next time.

I also truly hope that you are rexamining your reasons for leaving Ryan. Maybe a professional counselor would help you sort things out.

Both you and Ryan deserve to be loved and be happy. You 2 had such a great start on that--don't you think it's worth every possible effort to find out if you 2 can make a go of it again?

I know this is really none of my business. But---you and Ryan shared with the world the most beautiful love story, and it is just tough for this devoted reader to accept that it is totally and forever broken.

Hope that things get better

Thats pretty scary for someone just recovered from a serious head injury.

It's sad that it did not work out. However, he did not leave you a choice. One can't build a relationship on violence. You did the right thing.

Good for you, Mike! You did absolutely the right thing--sent him packing !

You don't need someone abusive around, you deserve someone who will appreciate just how wonderful you are.

And I agree with elise's comment. You went through a lot in the past year and maybe need some time to re-examine things.
