"I’m at the stage in my life where I keep myself out of arguments. Even if you tell me 1+1=5. You’re absolutely correct, enjoy.”- Keanu Reeves
About 10 months after I moved out of the home that I shared with my ex-husband, I found out through the grapevine that his newborn and side chick were living with him. She moved in about a month after I moved out. She was about 2 months pregnant when she moved in! Yes, for those of you who are good with math that means she got pregnant while my ex-husband and I were still together! I was highly upset to realize this, but I never called him to complain about it. I knew he was probably expecting me to go back and forth arguing with him, but I did not. At the time, I had been watching YouTube videos about narcissists. The videos stated that narcissists love attention. So, I decided to handle the situation by just ignoring it and letting go and let God. There is a great video on narcissist that I highly recommend by MamiSoTrue. Check it out below.
I decided to take the high road after finding out about my ex-husband’s new baby. However, the surprises did not end there for me. It seems like the lying apple (my ex-husband) didn’t fall far from the tree. Not long after learning that my ex-husband’s girlfriend and newborn were living with him, I found out that his mother had known about his side chick for months while he and I were still together. His mother regularly spoke with and hung out with my ex-husband’s side chick. When I used to vent to his mother about my concerns that my ex-husband was cheating, she treated me like I was crazy. Now I realize that she was pretending not to know what I was talking about. I can laugh about it now, but when I was in it, it was not funny at all.
When I found out about his side chick and newborn, I was devastated. I was sad and mad at the same time. I never confronted him or never argued with him. I just let him be, while I was dealing with it. I finally surrendered, prayed, and let go and let God. Once I did that, I felt the weight lifted off me. Holding on to grudges is never good for us, we must learn to release and let go of the pain. If we do not release that pain, it will destroy us and turn us into a bitter version of ourselves. I learned to never go back and forth with a person who did me wrong. All they want is your attention and energy so don’t give it to them, just starve them of your attention and energy. Do not allow people to disturb your peace. Eventually, they will feel stupid. They played a stupid game, and they won stupid prizes. In the past I did play in their game where I went back and forth and argued, but with this shocking news I did not play the game. I did a lot of praying and I just let go and let God. I had to heal a lot, but eventually I forgave him, for myself so I could move on. I have since released my ex-husband with peace, love, and light. I am my own best friend and I sleep comfortably at night.
