Unnamed Participant

But afterwards, I've always handled things with respect and kindness. And no matter what someone did to me, I was never manipulative or trying to do the same thing back. And I think What people don't get, it's not eye for an eye. When you do eye for an eye, that other person isn't learning anything. They're just like, well, see, that's why I cheated on you. Or that's why I did that.

They always say that. But if you... I don't want to say take something on the chin, but for lack of a better expression, sure. If you deal with it, and if you're strong enough to say... okay, this isn't my journey. That was for them to experience, but it was me to learn and to see these signs that I don't want in my next partner.

Like that I think was part of my journey, but I know what was done to me was not about me. I know that was about them and they have past trauma that they've never healed from. And every time when you ask someone like, why'd you do this? And they'll bring up, oh, my parents, or I came from a broken house. It's always something like that. It's never about the immediate relationship.

It's always from years past. But I think if it wasn't for my family, so my core circle and also my relationship with God, I just learned it wasn't about me. But maybe in the beginning, like when this happened, probably with my first husband. I was younger and I think that was a lot harder for me. But what's interesting is with each relationship,

where something bad has happened, I didn't take it and was like, woe is me, I'm this victim. I took it more like, okay, that's another layer of armor that I'm putting on myself that I can get through anything else that happens in my life. But it's also not going to harden me for my next relationship.

Like I'm really big on not taking all of that baggage with me, but I still like to carry it a little just so I'm reminded. I think of like, the red flags that I'm supposed to see now, but it's not going to make me project that onto my next partner.

But also for my kids, like I never want to be that person that my kids are like, oh, I'm going to get married. And I'm like, well, good luck. I really hate when people take their relationships and they project it. I do believe in happily ever after. I am one of those hopeless romantics, and I love the fairy tale and the fantasy, regardless of what's ever happened to me.

I'm always going to be that girl, and I think we should be. I love a good Disney movie.
