holiday stupidity
My soon-to-be-ex-husband was home for the holidays. And I had sex with him. What an incredibly stupid thing to do. He thought it was awesome. I thought of someone else. He was home for 4 nights, and we had sex on the first night. Then, of course, he begged me for it every other night, even going out and refilling his Viagra prescription. I told him I wasn't having sex with him again. I told him it was Christmas and I was feeling lonely. That's all. When his girlfriend called him, he refused to answer her calls. He wanted us to be a couple again. I can't do it. I can't think about him without thinking about all the pain he's caused. I can't look at him without thinking of all the years he used drugs and all the things I had to go through alone. I will never trust that he could be a real husband to me or father to my children. I've been punishing myself with food since Friday. God, I didn't even realize it until I wrote it just now. I knew I was feeding something, but I didn't know what. Since my weight loss surgery, it is very obvious when I am eating out of emotions, because I am NEVER eating anymore out of hunger. It is so good to be getting this out here. I didn't even tell my sponsor what happened because I'm so embarrassed, I feel stupid, and I hate myself even more than I did before. Thanks for listening.

26-Dec-07 Why did I sleep with him in the first place? What was up with that? What was I thinking? I wanted to be close to someone. I wanted to be loved. But I know better than to think he would love me the way I need to be loved. Was I punishing myself then for something? The last time I saw him, he called me a ***** twice and told me that Jesus Christ himself couldn't bring out anything good in me. And then the next time I see him I have sex with him? I am a ***** I am horrible. I am a terrible human being.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It happened. It's done. You can't take it back. Instead, just try to look at it as reassurance of your STRENGTH - yes I said strength. You are still strongly convicted that you do not want to go on with the relationship. When I was married during the last few years and contemplating divorce, any sign of warmth or affection would be enough to still my sails for a few more weeks - the hoping, the wanting the closeness etc. all weakness. I wouldn't assign too much value to the experience other than that of learning. It's a natural expression between man and woman - especially married and even newly divorced ones. It's familiar, it's normal, and yeah you might regret it, but I'm sure it's much more healthy than going out and picking up a guy with whom to sleep. You're ok - you're growing. Giving you a big hug. love and light, Michelle
