Truth and Consequence

Hi, my name is Christina. I am 32 years old with no children and I lied to my husband. We are now having serious problems and at times I don’t know what to do. I know that I created this mess and for the first time in my life I am determined to stick it out.  Did I mention that we were married on March 20, 2009 after only spending a month together? We met online and emailed for six months. When Kenny got home from Afghanistan (February 2009) we met in person and got engaged within two days. We were married a little over a month later.  I moved from my home in Tennessee to Georgia with no hesitation because I know this is the man for me.

THE LIE….When Kenny was in Afghanistan, I continued living a single girl’s life even though I knew that I was in love with him. I was afraid that he was a dream and not what I thought. When he asked if he was the only man in my life I said yes, but the truth is he wasn’t. Once we were married the truth surfaced as it always does and I tried to continue the lie. But truth will not remain hidden. Kenny now knows that I dated other men during the six months that we emailed. Funny, how he was everything that I wanted and thought but I turned out to be the lie, now Kenny is suffering because of me. He now doubts everything about me, everything that I told him, my feelings about him, and that I will be honest with him in the future. I am clueless as to what to do but I can’t stop trying to prove my love.

I invite you into my life as I navigate the waters of mistrust and doubt, as I learn to be a Navy wife and just a wife to the husband that I was given. I have no clue what the future holds for us but I do know that I love my husband and don’t want to lose him. Lies have tried to steal my happiness and I vow to fight back with TRUTH.
