I regret staying as long as I did but that grenade was a big one and took 3.5yrs to recover from. So glad I did and back on a path to happiness now. We are all worth having a partner who values us and cares for us genuinely.♥️ Matthew helped me heal during those 3.5yrs and gave me the final nudge to get back to the true me. Thank you Matthew (FL 10/23)♥️

Watching this mesmerizing video dredges up painful memories of the recent dissolution of my 5-year relationship. The departure of my beloved, the one I adore deeply, has left me in a perpetual state of longing. Despite my tireless attempts at reconciliation, I find myself mired in frustration, unable to shake the persistent thoughts of her. Despite my efforts to move forward, I'm compelled to share my inner turmoil and the overwhelming sense of missing her here.

I know its not easy to leave a person you love, , but we need to do it, , to have peace of mind, , and keep yourself not be hurt over and over again!😢😢😢

Matthew… That is spot on exactly the truth I felt… I threw the grenade that blew my life and now out 14 years it’s been very difficult to get back on track since… Still cleaning up the mess FROM BEFORE I threw the grenade.

Totally describes it! Thanks for that-it's not a simple thing- fear of change is real

[karenlynch]

Get out fast once you know they are toxic. When you stay & try it’s like quick sand

[spiritual_earthly_insights]

So true! But the courage needed to blow up a comfortable seeming relationship but it isn't right or comfortable in reality - is not easy.
But when one stays in an unequally yoked/ misaligned /imbalanced / toxic/abusive relationship - one is betraying their own soul self and also potentially a future life purpose with the right aligned balancing partner.
One who can't enter our life, if we continue onwards with the misaligned ones.

Ive just lit that fuse....
Thank God...the right thing to do..even tho Im numb...

I was scared about leaving. I did, and it was just as hard as I thought it was going to be. But it was manageable and I fixed my life

[SandrajReyes]

It is hard, but when the other person isn t faithful. One must say goodbye

[jjcarr]

Matt is always so amazing. This is an exact example that expresses my situation so perfectly

[newhopeme]

I blew it up August 1, 2023 after 38 years of marriage. So hard, but worth it

[Whatsmyname]

It's been 2 years. Despite it being the absolute right thing to do, I haven't been able to recover from it. IT IS A BLOWN UP BY A GRENADE EXPERIENCE!

[amygerstle]

And sometimes someone can blow up your life without a second thought how it will affect you. Some people don't care about your feelings or how much pain they cause. They just leave a path of destruction behind like a tornado.🔥🔥🔥

I left a few months ago. It was hard. Very hard. But staying would have been more difficult and I didn’t want that for myself.

[aaadrinebusingye]

The way he says it is so emotional 😢, we always know earlier, but it's hard 💔 to take the first step 😢😢

[heatherbug]

What a time to see this. I just broke up with him yesterday. I love him, but we just don't want the same things for the future. Ka-Boom

[candyp-r]

My first relationship was 15 years too long. My second one was an eye-opener to find you. So all that has happened to me has lead me to be wiser and hopeful I will make better choices in the coming future.

Oh you preaching better than WE saying amen ❤

I just did this recently this past week. Every day I’m being strong as possible, but then I break down and cry and cry, and I know it’s healthy to cry, but it’s the pain and the grief that needs to come out and be shed of the loss, of all the hurt and betrayal, and lies, and the way that we were treated when we knew, we deserved the best treatment in the world with the hearts that we have. So now it’s taking step-by-step, a lot of alone time trying not to isolate, but I think I am most definitely because of the tears that come and it’s hard to do anything, we also need to forgive ourselves, because by now, any of us have gone through this several times in the past and we think that it’s not this one that it’ll happen with. So I’m also in shock - he was a psychologist. By six months is Jekyll and Hyde came out. Maybe this be the final lesson for all of us, dear ones. Life should be enjoyable, celebrating love in the small things & cherishing the simpleness of Gods beauty through a good conversation and authentic people, authentic love not lies & unstableness. Looking outside ourselves isn’t the answer always because we have it all within if healed & growing connected to your heart & care for others with appreciating nature & daily gratitude. That peace, is actually worth it all
