They say marriage is supposed to be a partnership, a safe place where love grows and two people build a life together. But when you’re married to the wrong person, that dream feels like a distant illusion.
You can share a house, a bed, and even a life, yet feel like the loneliest person in the world. You smile for the world to see, but behind closed doors, there’s a silence that cuts deeper than any argument ever could.
The wrong person doesn’t see your worth. They don’t try to understand you or care about the things that make you happy. Instead, you feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells, pretending everything is fine when your heart knows it isn’t.
What’s worse is the emptiness. The realization that you’re sharing your life with someone who doesn’t truly see you or love you the way you deserve. It’s a pain that words can’t fully describe, and a loneliness that no amount of company can fill.
Marriage is supposed to feel like home. But when you’re with the wrong person, it feels like a cage. And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is admit the truth to yourself and choose your own peace over staying in a life that’s slowly breaking you.
I finally found the strength to break free and I’ve never been happier…🕉️

What you'll find here is what intrigues my mind and stimulates my soul, nature, athletics, humor, solitude, and sometimes NSFW, just to list a few. Dont be shy to ask questions. I won't bite unless you're into that, lol. I love the outdoors and spending time alone.
