Getting the anger down - warning explicit words!!




I am angry at you because you never gave me a choice. You didn’t share what you were feeling with me, you didn't ask me for what you seemed to want so badly! You didn't try to save our marriage. Instead you took it in your own hands and had an affair, and have not only destroyed a lot of things for us, but destroyed a lot of me and yourself too.

I am angry because you believed that they were no better than me. In fact you say that I'm too good for you, and that all you deserved was some moral-less whore. I'm angry that you can't see what is in front of you! Had you forgotten for the last twenty nine years that I was always there for you? Who held your hand at your Father's funeral, after just discovering your first affair? -Whilst I was hurting, I was still there for you, supporting you!! Who stood beside you, again supporting YOU at your Mother's funeral, after discovering your second affair? I have tried to be a faithful, honest, caring, and devoted wife our whole marriage. I am so angry that you were not there *exclusively* for ME when I needed you. While my Mum was dying in hospital, you were sharing that very personal experience with another woman! That angers me intensely.

I am angry because every time you touch me I wonder if you touched her the same way. Every time you tell me you love me or say something sweet I wonder if you used the same words with her.

I am angry because I have lost the security knowing that you will be with me in good times and bad. You seem to run to someone else everytime there is a problem or trauma in our lives! What if I get sick and are unable to meet your needs? Will you find someone else? Where is your committment to me or our marriage?

I am angry because I have a hard time enjoying anything good anymore, since it is overshadowed by all the hurt and pain of your affairs. I am consumed and eaten up by hurt, by questions, frustrations and anger.

I am angry because you seemed to magically forget all the good memories we had, you forgot you told me you wanted to grow old with me, or that you would NEVER hurt me again! You only seemed to focus on the bad. You made me doubt why we got married in the first place. You make me wonder why I forgave you after your First affair that comprised of 3.5yrs of lies & deception! You often make me feel like I wasted my life with you.

I am angry that you told me while in Sydney on holidays that you were looking forward to more holidays together, that you wanted to grow old with me and be with me forever - yet you were in the midst of your affair with K2 at the time!! How shallow does that sound?

I am angry because I have difficulty trusting you. I believed you were being honest up until the time I had solid proof of your first affair. After that I learned that your words often mean nothing to me. I wanted to believe you meant what you said, when you said you wouldn't hurt me again. I wanted to believe that you had learned from your BAD and UNFAIR choices by being involved with K1. I wanted to believe you could think about consequences of your actions on another human being BEFORE making bad choices and doing things that you KNEW would hurt me! I guess I HOPED that you had changed. I worked hard to try to trust you again, I worked hard for 7 years! I took you back after so many lies - for what??? To have you do it all over again!! Yes I'm very angry about that!

I am angry at myself for being so naive, trusting and unconscious. I'm angry at myself for not trusting my own intuition when I thought 'something is wrong'. I'm angry at myself for being so angry all the time.

I am angry that you have spoiled everything we do together, because now I am always scared that either of THEM might be where we are. I'm scared that my unreleased anger towards THEM might explode!

I am angry at myself because I see some things that you are doing after the affair to try to make up for all the hurt and I do appreciate it. But I am still angry. I'm angry because no matter how hard I try to believe you, after so many many lies, I struggle to believe you mean anything you say!

I am angry at HER for 'stealing my diseased pony'. Yes, both of your OTHER WOMEN stole you from me when you were weak. Both of them are sad people who got their ego boosts by thinking they were good because they could get another womans husband - they only got you because you were pathetic and weak!! They only got you because they were moral-less and they didn't care that all you did was have sex!! I'm angry because they didn't even think about me (a woman who had loved you for over 30 years) They didn't care that they were disrespecting and cheating someone! What else did you give them besides your manhood?? Oh that's right - Lies!

I am angry and upset, because YOU ARE BROKEN and you have destroyed ME!

I am angry that I still care about you.

  1. Thank you for taking the time to let your true feelings out. Anger is a huge step to getting healthy again. Some day..really soon.. you will tell youself this: "That is the LAST tear I will shed over this" and you will then take the first step back into YOUR life and no one elses.

    Believe in this for it will happen.

  2. Hey Lorri, I know it took alot of courage to let all these thoughts and feelings out. And I'm so proud of you for doing it.
    Hang in there, there is the other side of all this for you to break on through too. Sure is hard to figure out why the path is as it is, huh?
    Stay brave hun! You'll get stronger every day! Even on the days you have trouble realizing your strength! It's there.

  3. Dear Lorri,
    I am sad that this crap is happening to you. It sounds like you gave it your best shot but it takes two to make a marriage. Your anger will only make you stronger. Hold onto it for a little while but let it go too so that you can live your life again. Take care. Connie

  4. Your art will set you free. You are so talented but most of all you are strong. It is sad you ended up with a weak man, perhaps that is why you complimented each other all those years. But for him to make a change, he has to dig deep and get help so he could be accountable for his actions. You in turn will also have to do the same to dig deep to forgive. Lastly you need God to manage the marriage. If you both decide to end it then you need to heal you heart. I know because my father did the same to my mom and a fiance a few years ago just up and left me. No explanations... Just left. God bless you!!

  6. Wow! You are amazing. To put into words, bare your heart, for your blog friends to see is touching. I am so sorry that you have had such a rough go of it. Life can be so trying. You are a very strong woman, would have to be, to be with a man who hurt your heart in such a way and still you remain. You are a great artist and your work is wonderful. Hope to get to know you better.

    I have become one of your followers and hope to get to know you better.
