Cues From The Queen

Love is NOT Selfish!

Ladies, I recently had a huge reality check when I thought that I was going to lose my love. My best friend, my pain in the neck, my husband of six years recently had a medical scare that could have taken him away from us, however, the good Lord chose to spare his life. At the age of 34, he had a stroke due to stress. I was shocked, angry, hurt, scared, sad, frustrated, sick and every other emotion listed in the emoji timeline. I had no idea what I was going to do without my right hand, my backbone, my rock. In 14 years, I’ve only ever seen this man with a cold. I was devastated. The crazy thing is, I had no idea that I still harbored these feelings for this man. We have been “on the rocks” for some time now and even recently spoken of divorce. We were trying new things to work out some of our issues with communication and trust and so on but we weren’t really getting anywhere. One of our main issues were our finances and this is where his stress came in because this was his main concern. Always has been and always will be! He is a man and if he feels as though he is not providing for his family, he feels some type of way. The problem was that I felt like that was ALL he cared about.
