The Day My Daughter Woke Me Up to See That Her Father Never Really Loved Me

Article Description:
====================

I am 31 years old with two children, and I was in a relationship
with the man I loved until two years ago. We were not married but
we lived together, and yes he is the father of my children. We
had been together for more than five years at that point, but we
never felt the need to get married. We had been happy the way
things were, until one day my daughter changed all that, at least
for me.

The Day My Daughter Woke Me Up to See That Her Father Never Really Loved Me

I am 31 years old with two children, and I was in a relationship
with the man I loved until two years ago. We were not married but
we lived together, and yes he is the father of my children.

We had been together for more than five years at that point, but
we never felt the need to get married. We had been happy the way
things were, until one day my daughter changed all that, at least
for me.

I was preparing dinner when suddenly my first born daughter
asked, "Where did you and dad get married?" I couldn't answer
her at first, then I said your dad and I are not married.

I felt a bit ashamed to say that to my daughter, and I could see
the confusion on her face. That's how I knew it was time for
change.

The man I loved and the man I thought loved me also didn't feel
the same way.

It's amazing how a woman and a man can be so different when they
are in a relationship, and it's very painful when one member of
the couple doesn't love the other as much as the first loves him
or her.

That's what happened. I assumed that since I loved him so much,
I thought that he loved me as much also. I was so wrong.

I found out that in a relationship, two people can be loving
towards each other, but not always in the same capacity.

One would be willing to sacrifice everything for his or her
partner, while the other may not always be so willing.

This is so painful for me, but one has to realize that one can
never really own a person - no matter what you do or give.

It's heartbreaking, but one has to be prepared for this to
happen, when you are in a relationship. I wasn't prepared for it
to happen to me, but I had to be strong for my children.

I thank God for my daughter everyday, after I left her father,
for showing me what kind of man her father really was.

I was so blinded by my love for him that I lost sight of the
strength of his love for me - or lack thereof. I didn't notice
that my love was not being reciprocated, or maybe I tried not to
notice, as long as I was able to be with him.

I guess, in a relationship or not, a woman or a man must be wise
enough to know if he or she is loved and being shown that love.

It's not enough that "I love you" is said every now and then,
but what's right is that it should be said from the heart, not
because it's what the other wants to hear... When in a
relationship, you should love and be loved in return.

Don't settle for anything less than that... You'll only get
hurt if you do settle for less.

It took me five years to learn that lesson. Hopefully, you will
keep my words in mind, before such a thing happens to you in your
life.
