I’m
in my early 30's. I married at the age of 29 but sad to say after 2
years of marriage, hiwalay na . Parang simpleng hiwalayan ng bf/gf
ang nangyari pero ang mga events before the break-up hindi simple.
Our story started in 2006. We were in the same company but different
division. Katulad ng mga office love stories, we started as friends then
became lovers. I could say na yung relationship namin as bf/gf was
almost perfect. Super sweet siya, full of surprises for me. He was so
proud of me na everytime may bago siyang ka-opisina, kinukwento niya
ang love story namin. His friends became my friends too and witness sila
sa lalim ng pagmamahal niya sa akin. Kahit sa family and relatives niya
open ang relationship namin.
On our 3rd year anniversary, he proposed to me. It was a surprise.
Sobrang saya ko. He somehow planned for it na kase may list na siya ng
entourage on his side, idadagdag ko na lang yun sa akin. Mamimili na lang
ako ng altar date ko. And on August 2010, I became a wife.
First six months of married life was a bliss. I was very happy and
contented that I was too inspired to be the best wife for him. I feel
secured in our relationship that it didn’t bother me that I stopped
going out with my friends and while he continued to do so.
One day, naiwanan niyang open ang fb niya and I checked his inbox. (I
don’t know his fb password)
I was shocked to learn na meron palang pumupunta sa bahay na girl
everytime na nasa work ako. Kilala ko yung babae kaya kinompronta ko
silang dalawa. Umamin na twice na dumalaw yung babae pero sabi ng asawa
ko anong masama dun eh magkaibigan naman sila. I was very hurt. Ano ba
ang iisipin ko na ginagawa nila pag wala ako?
That day was our first big fight since we became lovers. But, he begged
for my forgiveness and asked for a second chance. Pinatawad ko siya
at namuhay kami na parang walang nangyari.
June 2012, naging madalas ang overtime sa work at may overnight pa ang
asawa ko. Hindi ko sana papansinin until may tumawag sa akin na
nagsabing may gf daw asawa ko sa office nila. And one time, sabay umuwi
ang asawa ko and yung girl ng past midnight at kinabukasan sabay naman
silang pumasok. Alam ko na nung gabing yun sabi niya sa akin may
overnight sila sa office.
Nanghina ako nung narinig ko yun. Hindi ko naconfirm ang identity nung
nagsumbong sa akin pero alam ko na baka one of our common friends na
concerned sa aming dalawa. Kinausap ko asawa ko at umamin naman siya
na natulog siya sa motel pero mag-isa lang siya. Hinatid daw nya yung
girl kase late na pero sa sobrang antok hindi na umuwi sa bahay kaya
nag check-in na lang pero sinabi niyang wala silang relasyon nung babae.
Hindi na lang ako nagsalita at iniyak ko na lang ang sama ng loob ko.
Akala ko magiging maayos din ang lahat, pero midJune nakikipaghiwalay na sa akin ang asawa ko. Namimiss na daw niya ang buhay binata. Inamin na rin niya sa akin na mahal niya yung officemate niya na hinahatid niya. Ang sakit-sakit nun sa akin, pero hindi ako pumayag. By the end of June, sinabi niya ulit sa akin na gusto na niyang makipaghiwalay talaga. I asked him to tell his parents na makipag-usap sa parents ko kase hindi lang ganun kadali ang makikipaghiwalay lalo na’t kasal kami. Nasabi ng parents ko nung namanhikan sila na kung ayaw na niya sa akin isauli na lang niya ako sa mga magulang ko ng maayos.
First week of July, birthday niya, ang hiningi niyang birthday wish ay
“kalayaan.” Masakit sa akin pero pinagbigyan ko siya. It was the third
time that he asked for it, ibig sabihin decided na talaga siya. Pero tinanong
ko siya kung ako ang may problema, siya daw. Confused siya at tsaka na
lang niya na realize na hindi pala siya handa sa married life. Mabuti na
daw yung wala pa silang anak. Tinanong ko kung sila na ba nung girl, sabi niya hindi daw kailangan daw
ba may babae sya para hiwalayan ko siya. Maawa daw ako sa sarili ko. That time, nilabas ko lahat ng galit ko. Nagawa ko siyang murahin. For
the first time in my life, nakapagmura ako ng tao na harap-harapan pa. It
hurt me so much kasi yun asawa ko pa ang unang taong minura ko. I even
told him, he is so unfair na after almost 6 years of relationship ngayon
lang niya na realize yun, na wala naman pumilit sa kanya para pakasalan
ako pero wala lang sa kanya. Nagalit pa nga sa akin kasi minura ko daw
siya at wag daw ako mag-alala kasi i-aannull nya naman daw ako. Kung
nagmamadali daw ako mauna na akong mag-file at gumastos at babayaran
niya ako unti-unti. Kaya gawin ko na daw lahat ng gusto kong gawin kasi
hiwalay na daw kami.
That day, I left our home and went back to my parents’ house. I admit,
marami akong pinagdaanan para masurpass itong problem na ito. Nag-undergo ako ng counseling sa priest at psychologist. It helped me a lot
too nung inopen up ko yung problem ko sa mga kaibigan ko. At first
hesitant ako magshare kasi nahihiya ako pero I realized na hindi ko naman
maitatago ito kasi hahapin nila sa akin yung asawa ko.
I stopped communicating with my ex already. Minsan nababalitaan ko
lang sa mga friends namin na namayat daw siya ng husto samantalang
naging blooming daw ako. hehe. Nakita rin siya ng ninong namin sa kasal
kasama yung girl na sweet na sweet sila like us before. But it doesn’t
matter to me now.
After a year nakapag-move on na ako. I already
accepted what happened to my marriage. I even thank God that He let me
know the real attitude of my husband at the early stage of our marriage.
I gained a lot of true friends at sila yung dumamay sa akin nung time
na sobrang depressed ako. "I may never had a romantic love this time but I know and I’m sure I
have a lot of unconditional love from the people that surround me. True
friends and family is the best answer". I hope that in God’s time I
will find a man who will accept me for who I am at kaya ako panindigan until the end. What I’ve learned from my experience is that “marriage is
not an assurance to make your relationship last forever.” Akala ko
kasi dati pag kasal na ok na.
dont worry po in due time dadating din yung guy na mamahalin ka until the end and wont ever hurt you like this... marami po ako natutunan sa mga nabasa ko po sa inyo.. thank u.. i will be praying for u...

DeleteThink positive ate. Ikaw nakaalis ka na sa miserableng tao na nakaya kang lokohin. Yun ipinalit niya sayo magagawa niya rin lokohin sa tingin mo is it worht your pain and sadness?
DeleteGumawa ka ng mga bagay na magpapasaya sayo para mas madali ka maka move on
anonymous, i know what youre going through. yes, you need to move on but you will go thru the process. a relationship specially marriage that has ended is like death in the family. first you go thru the shock of it happening, then denial, then anger hurt pain. you even ask yourself what did i do wrong. then you try to hold on hoping things will change but then it does not (sometimes it does). then acceptance. then time will slolwy help you move on. my husband had a very serious affair late part of 2011. it ended only late last year. the bitch was way below my level. weve been married for a long long time. the pain was so unbearable, it hurt like hell. it felt like my husband died a sudden death. i was not prepared for this but who is. i fought for my marriage, and i won. but it was a hard fought battle. i can say our relationship now is better than even before we got better. the improvement from both of us is unbelievable. that affair opened my eyes to my faults too. but am i ok? not 100%. i am still hurting a lot. i am still crying. but today was a lot better than few months ago...it has been 8 months since their affair ended but im still in the process of moving on with my husband. there were significant changes in our attitude toward each other which is helping in a way. yes, we have daughters who are in a very vulnerable stage being in their teens. it took such a toll on me. the one thing i did after finding out about the affair was to improve my physical appearance. i am definitely not ugly. i lost a lot of weight. people say i looked younger, sexy and more beautiful. why i did that? so that when that bitch will see me, i am way above her in that category even though she is half my age. and when my husband will see me, its like saying "am not a sorry ass and other men will take a second look at me". its also my way of boosting my morale and self confidence because when a husband has an affair, it destroys the wife's morale and self confidence. keep moving on and in time you will be ok. the wound will heal although there will be scars to remind you but in time you will no longer remember the pain.
DeleteGanun pala yun kahit kasal na......
ReplyDeletemarriage is never a guarantee. its just a piece of paper and as in any other contracts some people will not honor it - "breach of contract" - it depends on the two people who signed for it to make it work and last. and usually one spouse works harder than the other.
DeleteLife is too short..enjoy every moment.. Nakkatouch nman po.. I learned something.. Marriage is not an assurance to make your relationship last forever..pa.blooming k p ng bongga teh.. :)) godbless :D
ReplyDeleteI will be one of those people who will look after your story. Balitaan mo ako ha? :) Hugs! Kaya natin lahat ng pagsubok, walang susuko. :)
ReplyDeleteAng lalaki pag nagsabi na nasa kanila ang problema totoo yun. Ang problema na yun is duwag sila. Hindi nila kaya ayos ang gusot na pinasok nila. Lame ang excuse na d sanay sa buhay ng may asawa o hindi na siya masiya. Kaya nga nagpakasal kasi magkabiyak magkasama sa hirap at ginhawa. Kahit gaano kahirap kahit gaano kasama na ang takbo ng relasyon ng mag asawa dapat hindi nika iniiwan ang isa't-isa.
ReplyDeleteAng intimacy ng love ay nawawala pero dapat ang respeto at pagiging tapat ang dapat gawin pundasiyon ng isang magkapareha
