Our stories are so much a like it's u...Dear NW,<br />Our stories are so much a like it's unreal. I dated a guy in highschool (I loved him from the moment I met him), he would pick friends and other things over me but would also put me first sometimes (I was never a priority though) and we had the best of times. His parents were harsh and his siblings were mean.... But I loved them so I didn't notice to much.<br /><br />Fast forward a bit, he went on a mission and I decided to wait.... Joy right? Wrong. It was an uphill battle every week, with great depression and heartache. It was so hard. I wrote every single week his whole mission.... <br /><br />About half way through he talked SUPER ill of me to a comp in the Dropbox we shared. I tried to let it go because it was "hard since he wasn't home". It'd get better....<br /><br />It never got better, and I was ALWAYS giving him the benefit of the doubt. once he got home he wanted to see me, and off we were together again. He was just as rude just as distant just like before. His family was worse than before.... there were great times and awful times when he hid me away from friends and family. In much confusion I had felt I needed to wait, I didn't understand I needed to love him because God said so.... We dated the whole month since he was home and he dumped me.<br />Devastation set in. I didn't understand why if he was so mean and wrong why I missed him so much to cry till I threw up. He wasn't good to me but I missed it anyways daily. It was awful.<br /><br />He also got engaged and now married, I hated myself for being jealous but it happened. Still feeling like that was supposed to be me, it felt wrong for her to be there and not me.<br /><br />Then Ben came along.... After what felt like a billion years and it all clicked. He talked to me, he ditched plans to just sit and talk on my couch with me, when I didn't feel well and didn't answer his calls (all 3 of them in a row) he came over with my favorite soda and candy bar just to say he loved me. He was kind to my younger siblings, he was nice no matter how he felt after a crappy day at work. I became his priority, I didn't know how to act, he was so overwhelming at times because I had never been treated like that. He felt fake, he wasn't the same.<br />I realize now that if I hadn't been with the missionary who was so mean I would've never seen Ben, I wouldn't have seen his goodness and appreciated him. I had to go through hell to see it, and see my worth. I still miss the other but I see God's hand in Ben and I.<br /><br />I am so thankful I didn't settle, that I didn't go back. There was better in store for me. Ben really isn't perfect but he's of great worth and I love him beyond what I thought love was. He honestly saved me.<br /><br />I prayed long and hard for my feelings to go away but now I see just how much they blessed me and I wouldn't trade it for the world.<br />Long story short.... It gets better. There is a man worthy of your love and affection that will see you and want to be with you. You will be his priority, he will treat you right, and it won't be hard. Let me say it again. IT WILL NOT BE HARD, when it's right it just comes and works without so much work. The pieces just fall into place and you never see it coming. You'll see someday the awfulness will be worth it.... Please stayy faithful. The best us yet to come.<br />If you need a listening ear I'm here.<br /><br />-BaileyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731806426598347929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-3287389617930891342016-10-07T17:01:51.434-06:002016-10-07T17:01:51.434-06:00If you had met someone who doesn't have those ...If you had met someone who doesn't have those red flags would you still be pining over your ex?
