Hello there,
I hope you are doing well. My name is Maria, and I wanted to share my story with you. I am 53 years old and have been married for 32 years. Life has thrown many challenges my way, but I have managed to navigate through them with resilience and strength.

For the first 15 years, my relationship with my husband was beautiful, with just a few minor issues that come with any family. However, in 1995, we faced a setback when we lost our apartment due to a bank loan. With two young children, we had to move in with my parents for support.

Three years later, my husband had an opportunity in France, and I decided to follow him, leaving our daughters with my parents. We both worked hard for two years and eventually managed to buy a house. However, the distance between our new home and my parents was significant, so I had to stay in Romania with our girls while my husband was in France. It was a challenging time for us, but we stayed connected through phone calls and occasional visits.

Unfortunately, during this period, another woman entered my husband’s life, and it completely changed him. He began to treat our daughters and me poorly and didn’t want us to visit him in France. This situation was a shock to me and especially to my youngest daughter, who still loves her father dearly. I experienced a mental breakdown, lost my appetite, and had trouble sleeping. It felt like my life had become an endless nightmare.

As the years passed, I slowly started to rebuild my life. I found a job and focused on healing from the pain I had endured. One day, my husband lost his job and ran out of money. He reached out to our daughters, asking if he could come back home. Being the forgiving individuals that they are, they welcomed him with open arms, and I followed suit.

However, my husband continued to cheat on me, and I discovered his infidelities every time because he couldn’t hide them. It was devastating for me. In spite of everything, I still chose to forgive him and give our marriage another chance.

Sadly, his unfaithful behavior resurfaced when he went to Africa, where he found a 24-year-old woman who is younger than our own daughters. Currently, he works in France and only comes home once a month. It pains me to say that he has another mistress who is 20 years younger than him. Despite my knowledge of this relationship, he denies its existence.

Now, you may be wondering what you should do if you find yourself in a similar situation. While I don’t have all the answers, I can offer some words of encouragement. Remember that you deserve love, respect, and happiness. Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or even a professional counselor who can provide guidance and support during this difficult time.

Take the time to reflect on what truly matters to you and what you want for your future. Consider if staying in the marriage is truly what’s best for you. Sometimes, making tough decisions can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life.

Remember, you are not alone on this journey. Lean on your loved ones, seek professional help if needed, and have faith in your own strength. You deserve happiness and a life filled with love and respect.

With warm regards,
Maria
