Hi! I love your articles so much that it enlighten me somehow in my turbulent married life. I must say that these articles of yours had aid me in finding myself again, loving it first before loving other people… I’m still on the process of it now and I’m hopeful that everything will turn out positive.
I would like to suggest for an article on how to deal with your spouse who once betrayed your trust and is continually lying to you even for petty things.
I forgot to add, you might think that I would like to contribute about the suggested topic. I actually want to suggest for you to write about it. I’m hoping to read it soon. Thanks a lot and more power to you.
Hello Nessa,
Thank you for your comments – I’m so glad my articles are helping you through your turbulent marriage. Self-love is the cure to so many problems in life.
That’s a great article topic you’ve suggested – I will reflect on it and let the ideas perculate within me and write an article next week about it. Then I’ll put a link in the comment section here so you know when it’s posted (if you’re a subscribed reader, you’ll receive the article via email as well).
Take care,
Gini
Thank you for the reply. I’ll be looking forward to it.
Hi Nessa,
Here’s the article – it covers two aspects of the topic of betrayal – if the spouse has learned their lessons, and if they haven’t and are still being dishonest (which relates more to your suggested topic, but I wanted to cover both).
~ Dealing with a Spouse Who Betrayed You
I hope it helps – if not, please ask more questions after the article.
Take care,

Hi Gini! Thank you so much for the article. It enlightened me so much and after reading, humbleness came through me. I had a reflection on the real reasons why my spouse had lied to me and your statements really had helped me a lot in finding myself. Unfortunately, as of now I’m heeding your last advice that is to focus on myself. Dishonesty really can shatter you into pieces. At present, I’m doing my best to make my self whole again, my self-respect, self-esteem, etc. I hope you can help me with another article, on how to forget the pain in the past brought about the betrayal of my hubby now. I still cannot forget the pain that at my worst, he betrayed me with another woman. He was able to cover up all of his shortcomings by marrying me, but what is happening in the present is the awful result of constant bickering and reminding of his past mistakes. I really cannot control myself in remembering the pain.
Hello Nessa,
That’s wonderful that you gained insights into your hubbies reasons for lying and I’m sorry to hear that he betrayed you with another woman – that hurts on many levels. As you let go of the pain you will feel more empowered.
I will reflect on how you can release the past and be in the present, and write an article on it later this week. In the meantime, I just wrote an article today on How to Stop Judging Yourself and Others, which may help a bit.
Take care,
Gini
Hi Nessa,
I just posted an article called Let Go of the Past and Move Forward in Your Relationship that I hope you find helpful.
Sorry it took so long – had computer glitches last week so am catching up now.
Take care,
Gini
