My second husband turned out to be a wonderful man, who never hesitated to spend on me and my son
There used to be a belief that one should only marry once and remain together for life. These days, people have realised theres no sense in wasting your life on a man who doesnt show care or attention. Why cling on and desperately try to save a marriage when its clear theres no happiness left? Sadly, its not always possible to part ways peacefully and spare children all the heartache.
My first husband left me for someone else, and suddenly I was alone with a one-year-old child. He simply announced he was no longer interested in me. Wed been married for six years. We generally got along, though we had our rows. After our son was born, my husband changedhe became irritable at the slightest thing and started disappearing in the evenings. I suspected someone else, but didnt want to admit it. Then one day he packed his things and left. I was completely on my own.
Half a year ago, I met my second husband. Matthew turned out to be such a considerate man. He noticed how hard it was for me, raising and supporting a child by myself. After our second date, he walked me home and gently asked if I wanted to go to the shop for groceries. Later, he bought loads of things for my son himself.
I felt awkward at first. But I was genuinely touched by his willingness to help. Later on, I asked Matthew if he could pick up some meat. I could only afford it once in a while, as most of my salary went towards the mortgage on the flat Id bought during my marriage, and the rest on food. I once thought nothing of taking out a mortgage, thinking wed pay it off together. Of course, that didnt go as planned.
So, when Matthew told me to get whatever I wanted at the shop, I actually cried. No one had ever helped me like that before! I only picked up the bare essentials and avoided the sweets and fruit aisles, but Matthew slipped in some chocolate and tangerines anyway. Later, he brought over two huge bags to my flat.
We dated for several months, and with time, I grew more certain he was truly a good man. I realised he genuinely cared about the woman he loved, and wouldnt hold anything back for her sake. He really won me over. Before long, we got married. Matthew proved to be a wonderful husband, and an amazing stepfather too.
Now I can see that endless promises and hollow romances mean nothing. What really matters is sincere care and attention from the head of the family. When someone truly looks after you, you finally feel safe, and love comes naturally in response. I am so happy with Matthew. I know Ive found someone trustworthy, with whom I can calmly share my life. That, to me, is real happiness!
I was truly fortunate to meet Matthew. Not every woman dreams of diamonds and luxury apartments to feel happy. Most of us just want to be treated wellto be loved and respected.
Let yourself be loved, and choose your partner wisely.
