I wish everyone would have the interest to learn what I’m learning. I’m learning about unconditional love. I thought I knew what it was before, but…I was WRONG!!!
When I look at where I was I was one of the most conditionally loving people I have EVER met. Honestly, didn’t even realize that was what I was doing. I would tell my husband (boyfriend at the time) that I loved him, yet the minute he didn’t do what I wanted I would become irritated and angry. Talk about stripping away the freedom of choice from someone!
I was the QUEEN of expectations as well. Holy Cow! Didn’t see this one either. A lot of them were unspoken even which I am sure made me that much more of a pleasure to be around. In fact my expectations and controlling ways led my husband to wanting a divorce. When I examine where I was, it’s amazing I’m even married. I wouldn’t have married me! NO WAY! Not saying I’m a terrible person or anything, but loaded with lots of unhealthy habits that didn’t enhance anything positive in our relationship.
I’m grateful now that my husband told me he wanted a divorce because if he didn’t I wouldn’t now be on the path that I am. I am far from perfect, but I am a heck of a lot healthier than I was even 2 months ago. I found the book Real Love and Real Love in Marriage by Greg Baer and they have completely transformed my life. Seriously! The website is www.reallove.com. If you decide to look at it, check under Greg’s Top 10 and it will give you answers to the Top 10 common questions so that you can understand what he’s writing about.
What do you have to lose? I had my marriage and my life (could’ve kept on the same path forever and been an unhappy, confused person forever). Good luck to you and yours. We all deserve to know what Unconditional Love is and how to give and receive it.
