My Hell
APRIL 11, 2006 Alot going on in my life so i thought i would log my thoughts down in hope to work out the anger and hurt as some sort of therapy for me before i go insane. Just some info to catch myself up on why im going crazy: valentines day Feb 14 spoke to mike. Noticed shauna called him on valentines day and i mentioned that it bothered me that she would call while im at work on his cell phone. on or around march 26, 2006 spoke to mike noticed from the way shauna spoke about different things that they have been having some phone conversations still. I talked to mike about the way i was feeling regarding that, as well as the way they were hanging all over each other. I was very upset and expressed it to him. I told him that if he couldnt tell her to leave him alone, that i would. Later that day after work i told him that i was sorry and i didnt want to cause trouble...and i wouldnt say anything to her to avoid tension between all of us. Mike said that he already talked to her about it and shes sorry and she will stop calling and stop hanging on him as much. The next day Shauna came upstairs to my bedroom to "talk".....at that time she apologized for her behavior and assured me that she didnt mean to hurt me. She said she would stop. I told her that it hurt me a lot to see them acting like boyfriend and girlfriend and that it was just too much. I explained to her that when i see her hanging all over him it effects my feelings for him, that i dont want to be close with him physically because i cant get passed the two of them acting like they do. She promised it would stop and told me that she was being a bad friend by doing that and wouldnt continue. April 1 Spent the night at shauna's because olivia and nikki fell asleep there. While there shauna asked if she could just lay next to mike and "cuddle". Like an idiot...i just watch her proceed to lay next to him. He was laying on a pallet on her living room floor where we were suppose to sleep. I got up and walked away to another room, disgusted at him for treating me with such disrespect. After some time i felt stupid and wanted to go to sleep so i finally listened by the door to see if they were "busy" .....they were. I didnt want to interupt, but i was also so hurt and mad that i am always so worried about coming across mean. I couldnt handle hearing them be together sexually anymore so i finally announced myself and asked if i could come in. I then apologized for interupting (like an idiot) and asked if i could please go to sleep. Shauna immediately left and went to her own room. I was so hurt and felt so ugly as i lay down next to mike to find she had left her pants behind. April 3 Couldnt concentrate on anything except my husband and shauna. I finally decide to look on sprint to see the calls mike had received and made. Sprint only shows outgoing calls. Looks like they are still talking. Im crushed. I didnt have time to look at them all because mike walked downstairs while i was looking. Again, im an idiot...always afraid to make waves. I couldnt take it any longer and i said something. I told him i was looking up something else on our account and saw his calls to her. I yelled and cried and told him that i cant live like this. I had asked him before on 2 other occassions to stop talking to her on the phone. He promised he wouldnt. He said he was sorry and that he will tell her to stop. (again.) I dont know what to think anymore. I dont understand what to do. i consume every thought and moment on this now and im so afraid, hurt, mad, etc. I cant work or sleep because im constantly wondering why and what else is going on that i dont know? He told me over and over again they havent been talking on the phone. Would they continue as though im not going to find out? i told mike i will NOT have this conversation with him again. I will NOT ask him a 4th time to stop. Next time i will ask him to leave. Why would he do this? Why would She?? My two best friends. monday april 3 While at work i find myself looking at the calls mike made to shauna again......and again...and again. I finally print it out and hilight all of his calls to her because i still cant believe it. I want so much to cry but know that i cant while at work. I want so much to leave but we're short handed. I want so much to call shauna and scream at her like i should of already done. Like anyone else would have done by now. Instead i find myself punching her number into the sprint website. I guess at her password and i guess correctly. Now im so desperate to know what else they've been hiding that i find myself doing something i would never do. Now im in HER account and i cant help but stare in shock and pain at all the calls she has made to MY husband. Its a million times worse than i thought. I want to die. I cant even see all of the calls because they become one big blur on the screen as i fight to hold my tears in. I hit the print button and leave my office to smoke. I quit smoking 3 months ago and now i dont give a shit. Right now im thankful im just resorting to a cigarette and not a gun. I hilight all the calls she has made to MY husband. Its disgusting. There are so many calls the paper might as well be yellow instead of white now. I just want to die. I cant believe they talk this much. Calls made all throughout the day while im at work. They cease on the weekends.....what a surprise. They must of gone crazy not being able to talk on those days while the wife is home. When i confronted mike about the calls he made to her this morning....he said she just calls to say goodmorning to him. He failed to mention that she calls all day long and that they talk for long periods of time. When i asked what they talk about he said that he just needs someone to talk to sometimes. What the hell am i ??? I told him that ill find myself someone to talk to too if its acceptable now in our marriage. I also mentioned the other night when they "cuddled" that i knew they were sexual. At first he said that NOTHING happened. Why does he think im a idiot?? He finally admitted that some things happened, but he was just ....get this......"passing time". april 10 2006 logged on to shauna's sprint again. I had to wait for her new months detailed billing to show up. Our new billing wont show until a few more days according to our billing cycle. YUP......they have talked. Im repulsed now. They have actually talked even AFTER mike and i had our last big fight. Apparently now she just calls the house and his work. ive never even called him at work out of respect for his job. Apparently she is relentless and doesnt give a shit about me or his marriage or job. I cant wait to see if he's called her as well once we get our new billing. I guess now i have to make a choice. I cant believe i bought her a mug and a bathrobe today. I guess she just probably thinks im such a stupid shit. apparently i am. we have to go there for dinner tonite. i suppose ill give her the damn robe then. Arent i sweet. April 11 well im sitting here at work exhausted and worn out from another sleepless night. Last night we had dinner at shauna's. I was trying to be cordial but pent up hurt and anger showed from time to time, im sure. It got worse when she talked about our trip to san antonio. She mentioned leaving her grocery list on my desk at my house and all of a sudden Mike jumps up and says, "oh, i happen to have it. I saw it and thought i'd bring it over for you". Well, would you blame me for automatically thinking thats odd?? I also asked mike to bring the shrimp over to her house from ours and he forgot it......but he can remember that previously several days before she made a comment about leaving her grocery list at our house?? ....so basically im thinking they must of talked on the phone today again. She probably mentioned it and he probably shoved it in his pocket while on the phone with her. Of course that ruined my whole damn night. I talked to mike about it once we got home. I hated myself as i scrolled through his phone. Of course he says he didnt talk to her and that he happened to just see it laying there and decided to take it. yeah right. We'll see when i look at the phone records. I hate that i have to wait a whole freaking month to see her next billing cycle. I want to say something NOW. I know i need to wait though and i guess thats my sad attempt to hope the calling will stop at some point so that i dont have to figure out this mess. Who am i kidding though. Do i tell them ive been looking at her bill?? ...and why do i even care about how that will make me look?? why should i give a shit after all that they are doing to me? Why am i so afraid to make waves and ruin everyones weekend away ?? WHY THE HELL AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO GIVES A SHIT!!!!!!!! its tuesday. i have to meet them at mcdonalds. I will be miserable the entire time. I will smile and pretend my life is grand when in reality i want to scream and cry and ask why the hell someone would hurt me so damn much. i need another cigarette. ***************************************
APRIL 12, 2006 Well, last night at mcdonalds was another nightmare i could of lived without. Mike decided he would go to Nikki's PTA meeting while her and I go to "mcd night" with everyone else. I was actually glad that he suggested that because i thought it would be easier than to see the two of them together while i pretended everything was fine. When i first got there i was relieved to see the only open seat for me to sit at was at a different table, which meant i could spend most of my time listening to kylie without having to talk much. However, at some point kylie left and boris walked to the mall ...which left more conversation between shauna and i ...along with marcia. Its hard to look at her without hurting and wanting to ask her how she could look at me in the face without feeling like a shitty friend - so i finally decided i needed to get going....halfway to the door Mike comes in. I guess the meeting ended early so he thought he'd come meet us. Ok, so maybe im exaggerating...but at this point there have already been so many lies that i dont know what to think anymore. I decided to turn my ass around and stay with him while he ate. I noticed he ate incredibly slow. I noticed something even more important though. He and shauna did not say hello to one another and barely looked each others way. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Yup, they had to have talked on the phone. There is no other explanation for the way they were ignoring each other unless mike told her i was upset again. As soon as mike finished eating i said it was time to head home because nik had homework.....as we left nik reminded us that i promised her a mcflurry to go home with. I couldnt resist ....it would have ate away at me all night and how could i be the only one suffering with all of this bullshit?? why should i be the only one?? I asked. Yes. Again. I cant help it. I needed to know, even though the answer is always the same. I asked him if he had talked to shauna on the phone because i thought it was odd that they barely looked at one another when normally she would of made a big cheery hello for him. He was furious!!! He turned around and yelled, "NO, i havent talked to her!! now you're just looking for shit!" I was so embarrassed. He yelled at me in front of the entire restaurant. How dare he yell at me as though im being ridiculous. Do i not have a right to question him when all ive been getting is lie after lie? Ok, so he doesnt know that i know he's lying, but that is what is upsetting me so much. I have given him so many opportunities to be honest about all of this. I have point blank asked him to tell me the truth. I have told him that if he is lying im finished. I point blank begged him to tell me the truth. What does he do? He gets upset as though im becoming annoying. He tells me that he will come to me and tell me if shauna calls him. I guess he's forgotten to tell me about all of these times ive seen calls still coming from her. I suppose they both laugh about it and think they're sneaky. I suppose shauna thinks if she calls the house or his work phone that i wont have a damn clue. I left mcdonalds upset after he yelled at me. I went for a drive. I drove for 3 hours while i cried and tried to figure out what to do next. Do i let it go? Do i pretend my marriage will be okay when inside im a mess? Do I confront them with the call logs i have? Do i harbor all of this hurt and betrayal and hope he finally admits to me all of the lies? You know...ive thought about it. If he admitted to me that he's been lying about her calls, and confessed to me everything i would see that this could be resolved. Its the lying, the pretending like im the crazy one for doubting him that is eating at my heart. The fact that he would continue to talk to her knowing it was hurting me so much. And if he's willing to risk our entire marriage for "conversation" with her, why should i not believe there is more to it than that? Why should i believe that its not a full blown affair where they meet regularly. Maybe just as regularly as their conversations. You know, the ones they're "NOT" having. I sit here and wonder if they are talking right now..im obsessed with it. I should be working and instead im doing this .....my work is being effected and i need to try and gain control. Mike flies tonite so he's home all day. How convenient for them.
APRIL 12 2006 PM
I found myself at lunchtime driving by shauna's house. A routine im getting use to unfortunately. I have to constantly check now.....i cant drive by her neighborhood without driving past her street to see if mikes explorer is sitting in her driveway......then i proceed to drive past my house to see if he's home like he's suppose to be, or if her red minivan is in my drive. How pathetic is this? I cant help it..i cant get it out of my mind and i would rather spend my whole lunch hour making sure they arent together then to be left wondering if they are. I made a mistake this time though, as i was driving by my house mike happened to step out to go to his car. He saw me. I felt like a complete idiot. I made some excuse about running home to grab something. I asked where he was going ...because now i need to always know where he is so that i can go back to work and concentrate on something other than his whereabouts. He said he had to go to Remi's to drop a patch off and then go to work. I said goodbye...didnt give him much love, because afterall doesnt he realize inside im yelling and screaming at him still? He left, and sure enough only moments later i find myself calling information to get the address to Remi's alterations. I dont want to do this, but i cant help myself. Im obsessed and scared and i need to confirm that he's being honest with me at all times now. Its a horrible feeling and i hope it goes away soon because i cant live like this much longer. Sure enough as i go to drive by Remi's, he's pulling out. Shit. He sees me again. Think fast sharyn.....what an idiot. I hate myself for this. I hate him for this. I never admitted to him that i was following him to be sure of his whereabouts, but im sure he picked up on my horrible detective skills. He was polite about it though and didnt say anything. Either that or he bought my story on wanting to ask him about what time and where i was suppose to pick allie up that evening. Anyway, he asked if i would like to go to lunch. I knew i was suppose to be back at work at this point....but he didnt know i had just spent my lunch hour trying to scope out neighborhoods and parking lots....stopping and turning to chase down any car that resembled either one of theirs......and i certainly wasnt going to admit it. Sure, id love to go to lunch. What i really wanted to do was to see if shauna would call him while we were together at such an odd time of the work day. A time she would assume id be at work. HOW PATHETIC IS THIS? IM GOING INSANE!!!! We went to subway. I found myself racing to keep up behind his car so that i could be sure he didnt make any quick phone calls to tell her not to call him...that i was with him. When we got to subway, i immediately jumped out first to go to his car. Smart man...he left his cell phone in the console. I asked him to unlock the door because i needed something out of his car.......as soon as i did he said, "shauna called me today". Ok. hmm. He's beginning to understand how this works, only...he's suppose to tell me BEFORE i begin to reach for his phone, Not just when he realizes im about to find out for myself. Will this ever end? will this craziness kill us? i dont know, but i also know a part of me has already been killed anyway. We talked alot and i apologized for feeling like i needed to "babysit" him. I also realized that he had turned his ringer real low after i specifically raised it .....i told him that he needed to keep his phone on the table. How else am i suppose to monitor any incoming calls? Pathetic. See what they have done to me?? I just want to cry. I thought i was all cried out.....but im not . He told me that he loved me. I told him that i love him too. My God, why does love have to hurt so damn much? **************************************
APRIL 13, 2006
Well last night was interesting. Mike was flying all night and just as i was getting ready to put nikki to bed the doorbell rang. Shauna came over and asked if she could talk to me. Great. I wasnt ready to talk to her but i guess i wasnt going to have a choice. I told her that i was just getting ready to put nik to bed, but she said she would wait. I made sure she waited a long time because i was hoping she would just tell me she had to go. She waited patiently though and i realized that i couldnt leave her downstairs by herself too much longer because no matter how upset i was with her im too nice to be rude. I already knew why she came to talk to me...she was probably worried that her husband would notice the tension between us and thought she'd better beg for forgiveness before we left on our trip for the weekend. There have been several times i wanted to tell boris whats going on, but my God...why would i want anyone else to feel this pain ive been going through? I would love for her to deal with the same pain and feelings of her marriage being torn apart like she has done to mine, but not at the expense of boris' feelings. Im surprised she felt compelled to make things right before our trip. She should know im too damn nice to hurt her like she has done to me. We talked for hours. Im going all day on only 3 hours of sleep. Im exhausted mentally and physically but its probably for the best that i got some of my feelings out. I think i was probably still too forgiving, but i suppose i cant change anything thats happened between them. At first i thought i was going to yell and scream. It was smart of her to come and talk when she knew my children would be home. Of course she knew i couldnt raise my voice without them wondering what was going on. That shauna is a smart woman. I considered telling her that i wasnt ready to talk to her.....but instead i listened. Basically she said she was sorry. She didnt have answers for me. She doesnt know why she continued to call mike when i asked her not to the first time. She said she "needed someone to talk to" and then started crying about how all her friends come to her with all their problems, and that she needed to go to someone too. I sat there and listened, but i still feel that was a lame excuse. I wanted to say "bullshit". She may of called mike to whine and bitch a few times, but surely not every day, all day long. See...thats what upsets me about all this crap. Its lie after lie that bothers me. Is that the best you can do? Why not just admit that you were bonding with my husband and hoped eventually it would turn into a secret love affair? Im not freaking stupid and the tears for sympathy was a poor attempt of a role reversal. So while im sitting there listening to her lame reason for her betrayal, what do i do? I find myself telling her that IM sorry for not being there to talk to when she needed a friend. Whoa....what?? Why the hell do i let people turn shit around as though im the one who was the cause of their fuck up? I didnt know how to react. As she continued to blabber on about how she "just needed a friend to talk to" i thought i shouldnt let her get out of this too easy because no matter what im still the one who was betrayed. I finally grew a little bit of a backbone and said, "im sorry you needed a friend to talk to shauna, but do you realize you were willing to jeopardize my marriage and our friendship to do it??" Now I guess i expected her to say she was stupid and maybe apologize again....but no, instead she says, "well, do you really think your marriage was okay anyway??" ok, now this struck a nerve!!!! So was she saying that just because i complain and moan sometimes about things that i was giving her permission to totally mess up my life because it wasnt that great anyway?????? It took all of me to keep my composure. I replied with a simple, "yes shauna...my marriage was okay and i was happy". I couldnt believe thats how she was thinking. See....i guess thats why im so upset with her...even still...even after she apologized. I dont think her tears or her apology were genuine. I dont expect her to get all dramatic and throw herself at my mercy for forgiveness, but i do expect a genuine sincere heartfelt sorrow for the pain she has caused me. I dont feel that from her. I honestly feel as though she just wanted to smooth things out so that we can go on and pretend as though nothing happened so that her weekend wasnt ruined. Isnt that easier? Hell, she wasnt the one who was hurt..and as long as boris doesnt know about it then shes okay. Thats fine, ill play that game, but i had this same conversation with her recently and i fell for it the first time. Of course nothing changed, she just found other ways to be sneaky about it. I found myself replaying the conversation we had in march in my mind while she babbled on. The same promises, the same tears, the same "our friendship is so important to me sharyn" ...blah blah blah. At some point in the conversation i tell her that i will try my best to deal with this but that what they did hurt me very much. I told her that i didnt understand why she would continue to call mike when i specifically asked her not to ....once from me, and then after she continued i asked mike to tell her AGAIN a second time ....yet she STILL continued. Thats the part that hurts....again and again and again i have to ask them to stop. I asked her if mike told her to stop calling, she said yes he did. I said, "then why didnt you stop shauna??" ....no answers. Ill tell you why it continued. It continued because they thought i wouldnt find out. THATS THE PART THAT HURTS!!!!! I asked her if they ever talked about how hurt and upset i would be, or boris would be if we found out they were talking. She said yes, they did talk about it. I asked her why she felt the need to call him so often ...she said, "we didnt talk as much as you think we did sharyn" ....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thats right, another fucking lie because she only thinks i know about the calls on Mikes cell bill. Damn liar doesnt know i see hers too. I wanted soooooooo badly to tell her, just so that i could prove to her that she was still lying.....just like mike is when he says that. I almost told her. I looked her right in the eye and said, "I know you are talking to mike every day...all day. I know it for a FACT". I said the same thing to mike the previous day when i almost told him about my proof too. Im so glad i didnt tell them because if i do i know i will lose access into her billing and then ill always be left to wonder. I just want and pray to have peace and closure to this and i wont have it until i know for sure they arent calling each other anymore. I know its wrong, but i feel they have left me no other choice since they have lied and continue to lie. Maybe im wrong this time, i hope and pray i am. *************************************** APRIL 26, 2006 Well, its been awhile since ive written. Mike had to go out of town for NCO training. He's only 1 hour away so he will try to come home on the weekends. He came home this past weekend and we enjoyed his visit home. Not much has been happening. Everything has pretty much mellowed out and our weekend away with Shauna and Boris went fine. The kids had fun and i warned shauna before we left for the trip to please keep the flirting with my man to a minimum because allie was bringing a girlfriend on the trip and i didnt want to embarrass her in anyway ...just because she's weird doesnt mean everyone has to know it. Shauna was fine and kept her hands to herself. I think for sure she doesnt want to rock the boat anymore than she already has. As a matter of fact, im hoping and thinking that she's not calling Mike anymore as promised. I know there were a few times she had to call him ....but it was only a few times and it was during times i was with him. I'll have to remember that when i look to see if any calls have been made to him. Ive also made sure to get his hotel phone number....it would be really easy for her to call him while he's out of town for 2 months. Im sure she will be too smart to call his cell phone. We'll see i guess. *sighs* *************************************** MAY 3, 2006
Well, i thought everything was getting better but then reality slapped me in the face again yesterday. I had a great day at work and i was suppose to meet my friends at Mr.Gatti's for a birthday party. Right before i left the office i called shauna to see if she could swing by my house to pick up my oldest daughter. We talked and everything was fine until i asked her how her day went. She said it was ok, that she went to see a therapist. I said, "a therapist? why??" She said, "you know all thats been going on and stuff"...."what do you mean? whats been going on?" ....her response: "i cant stop thinking about Mike". My face dropped. Here we go again. Why the HELL would she tell me this?? Why the hell does she feel so comfortable fucking my world up? I told her it was hard for me to hear that and i asked her if boris knows she went to see a therapist. yes, he knows and apparently she told him why too. Great....no wonder he wanted to spend last weekend alone with shauna without us. He probably hates mike and im not sure i would blame him, afterall im beginning to feel pretty ill of her too. Im still not sure why she told me this. Is she intentionally trying to rub salt in the wound? At first i wasnt going to tell mike about this...i actually didnt want to flatter him with the idea that she couldnt control her thoughts of him. What good would that do? Hurt me more? Hell at this point i dont think the two of them mind. Anyway, i couldnt help it. When i talked to him on the phone i told him. Im still not sure whats worse, her twisting the knife, or him holding it for her when shes done. When i asked him why the hell she would tell me this he tells me that she probably needed to tell me so that she would feel better. To help her heal .... of course, this is all about her. Havent i already made this easy enough for her? Havent i already MANY times now let this blow over ..to help HER heal? So why the hell does she keep twisting the knife??? I told mike that im not sure i want to continue our friendship with them. Its not worth it anymore, too much hurt and betrayal and pain. He seemed devastated ...he said, "but they have been the best friends we've ever had" ......ah, Hello. Excuse me?? Im sorry but no friend of mine, let alone BEST friend has ever done anything like this to me. Yeah, the bestest friend we've ever had. Apparently someone forgot to tell mike what a true friend is. Now dont get me wrong, i do agree that before all of this they were the bestest friends we've ever had. Of course Shauna had to screw that all up though. I asked mike if he were to take this entire situation and reverse it, if he would then feel the same way? Imagine mike finding out that boris was calling me all day, every day...and that boris had to seek help because he couldnt get me out of his mind.......would mike be taking this as well as i am? Would he still then consider boris to be his best friend? Would he still want to hang out with them all the time knowing this? of course not. SO WHY THE HELL DO THEY EXPECT ME TO ???? ...oh thats right, because it will help SHAUNA heal. I told mike that i need to see a therapist too, just like she is. I told him that i really needed to do that to help ME heal. I asked him if he would go with me, that we need this. His response was "you mean now? i have too much going on already...this class, when i get done with class i have upgrading to do at work, the house, ect." well excuse the hell out of me, ill try to plan the collapse of our marriage when its more convenient for you. Which by the way , YOU caused. To Hell with them both. **************************************
MAY 3, 2006 I was feeling so down and my heart hurt so much today with thoughts of everything going on and wondering how this was going to effect my marriage. After i got off work i kept trying to call mike but i couldnt reach him at his hotel or on his cell phone. I really needed to hear his voice to sort of ease my heart some. After not being able to reach him several times i kept wondering if he was talking to her and just not taking my call. I know that sounds crazy but at this point i cant help but let my mind wander. I realized that she hadnt called me all day ...which is very unusual. I let my imagination go crazy and the more i had time to think, the more i hurt inside. ...But then he called. He wanted to know where i was and i told him that i ran to the store....he asked me when i would be home and i told him in just a minute. Well...he said to hurry because he was pulling up in the driveway to see me!!! I was soooooo excited! I could not have been more surprised and i immediately felt a huge wave of love ...love that i was desperately needing and craving. He only had 2 hours to spend at home and then he had to go back to goodfellow afb before they would notice him missing in action. So the girls and i got to have dinner with him and that was it...but damn i needed it. Mike made my heart happy. Literally. I felt the ache go away because he sensed that i needed him and he came to me. I love mike so much and his long trip home just to have dinner with me was exactly what i needed to know that he loves me too. I wish so much that we could have made love....wish so much that he could have stayed the night so that i could feel him next to me...but i know he couldnt and i was happy with what he could give. I went to sleep happy and I needed that. p.s. i still find it odd that i never heard from shauna though...did she know he was coming? did they talk and she didnt want to interupt his visit? ..are they still talking afterall? Did they actually spend time together making love before he came home to have dinner with me and the girls? ...why cant i trust? why does my gut question everything now and how long will this last?? *************************************** MAY 7, 2006
Mike came home for a little bit. It was so nice to have him home, even if for only a short time. Last night we had dinner and played games with THEM. Its still so hard for me to have fun and not think of everything thats happened between them. I tried so hard though...i want so much for everything to be the way it was. I find myself still struggling with the trust issue. For instance, after mike left early today i ran to run some errands. When i got back to my car i noticed that both of them had tried to call me. Naturally, i called mike back first. While i was on the phone with him i could hear his hotel phone ringing in the background.(6:30-7:00) I didnt think much of it at first but when he stopped talking to answer it i noticed that i couldnt hear anything...not a sound. Almost as if he put his cell phone on mute so that i intentionally could not hear. The red flag automatically flew up. Why would he not want me to hear his call? ah hah....maybe he was worried it would be HER. He got off the phone so fast and came back to me. I tried so hard to push this thought out of my head but i had to at least ask him who was calling. The only reason i thought i could get away with asking him is because it was weird. It would ring...then stop...then ring...then stop...then , oh shit..i know this is crazy but i just realized something. Before mike went away to this academy i told him that i did NOT want him using his hotel phone. I said that under no circumstances i wanted him to because i was afraid she would try to call him there. I also told him that i would test him and call it from time to time just to make sure he wouldnt answer it. Now i cant help but wonder if they planned a system ...so that he would know it was her calling. Anyway, naturally im thinking it must of been her, so i asked and he said it was one of the guys wanting to see if they could all meet to study. Sounds weird to me but what am i suppose to say? ...anyway, i get off the phone and while im sitting in the parking lot trying to control my crazy ideas, i decide to call shauna back. Of course she doesnt answer her cell phone so i called her house. Boris answered and said that she wasnt home (of course not, how else could she call mike?) He said he just talked to her a few minutes ago and that she had her cell phone. ...funny, shes not answering it. I wonder why??? I know why....because shes probably talking to my husband. I decide to call the hotel phone....sure enough, its busy and automatically goes to the guest voicemail. Weird, hes on the phone...why does this not surprise me? I wait a few minutes and call again....voicemail again. ok, i decide ill call his cell phone. I know he'll answer it because he'll feel obligated to. I make up some cheesy excuse and tell him i forgot to ask him something. I realize he probably has her on the hotel phone but i slowly make conversation anyway to see if he tries to rush me off. I finally ask him why his hotel phone was busy when i tried it , he said he was on the phone with one of the guys again. Now NORMALLY i would believe this....but my heart instantly begins to hurt. It hurts because i think he is lying again. If he's lying again my life will never be the same. If he's lying again i will lose my marriage forever and i hurt so freaking much at the thought of this. Please Dear God, dont let him be lying and help me to get through this. Help me to trust him again because i so desperately need to be at peace with this and move on. *************************************** MAY 8, 2006
All last night my heart hurt so bad....i called mike and while we were talking i mentioned to him my fears of him and shauna talking. He assured me that he wasnt and he promised me again that he would tell me if she called him. I told him how sorry i was for hanging onto this and promised him i would get over it soon, that i just needed time. He told me that it was his own fault and that i should take all the time i needed. It felt so good to talk to him because he said what i needed to hear. I cried myself to sleep last night. I want so much to be finished with this and each time i try something else happens to make me question everything. Im so afraid that i will have to follow through with ending it all if i find out they are still talking. Im overwhelmed with this fear. I will find out today if she has been calling him. Her new cell phone bill should be posted today for the month of april and the first week of may. Im so scared to look, but i know i have to. Dear God please show me that i can trust them again. Show me that our marriage means something to him. **************************************
MAY 9, 2006
Another sleepless night for me. I cant help but constantly wonder what the future holds for my marriage and my family. I cry at the thought of having to end it all, but i also know at the same time i cannot continue to allow to be hurt over and over again. I can no longer trust my husband and unless that changes, it will never work. I still wont know for sure until i can get a new billing posted on her phone bill. I find myself checking often but so far the current billing isnt showing up. In the meantime, i cant work...and i need to focus. The last thing i want is to lose my family AND my job. I spent all night thinking in bed last night. How would i react if they are still talking? Will i scream and show all the rage im feeling inside towards them? Or will i be so devastated and broken that i will only be able to simply cry and allow them to fill my head with more empty promises? I have no clue ..and im scared to death that ill have to find out. I prayed so hard last night....i pray that this nightmare will be over and ill look on that bill and see that the calling has stopped so that i can rebuild my trust in them again. That is what will help me heal right now. Anything else will completely destroy me. I feel like im being tortured slowly while i wait and see what her call logs will show. I have never in my life felt so helpless and its killing me. THEY are killing me. Is their relationship worth this pain they cause? Would they both be willing to lose friendship and marriage and all the wonderful things that come with it ....for what they have? Thats what hurts me so much. To know that they might risk all of that...for what?? If i left mike would shauna risk her own marriage for him , the way he is for her? Does she even have a damn clue of the consequences that he would face if she has continued to call him? Can she be any more selfish than i have witnessed her to be? Does she think that her desire to "talk" to him outweigh his desire to be a husband and father? Im blown away at the thought of this. Ive made it very simple for him though....all he has to do is tell me that she has called him and only a friendship would be ruined. If he chooses not to tell me, then i will know that his desire to "talk" to her is just as strong as hers. Therefore, that pretty much leaves me out. The thought of that shreds my heart to pieces. Please Dear God show me that this wont be. Give me a reason to rebuild our love and show me that he can be trusted. I need this more than anything right now. **************************************
MAY 9, 2006
Her phone bill was posted. Im sick to my stomach. I have so much racing through my mind...so many things i want to say but it changes from hurt to anger within moments. Im so scared of what happens now. My marriage has completely ended in just a matter of moments of reading what was already so obvious, yet i still sit here frozen and torn. Now what? Do i say something to them? do i call mike while he's concentrating on school and interupt his studies? Do i dare face her and pretend as though i dont know while deep inside my heart screams at her? What about the children? Do i prepare them in any way of the divorce that is to come? Where do i go? Do i stay here so that mike can see them? Do i go to family who will help me support them on my own? Do i call the builders and try to get out of the house that we were suppose to live in as a family? Do i stay here only because it will be convenient for mike...and then what? move everytime he gets orders?? Havent i been the one who's suffered enough? Why do i care if i stress him out while he's in school? What about me and the stress im having to face alone????? Why is this so complicated?? was it worth it?? Do they love each other?? Is this what they hoped for? What about boris? will this break his heart? will he ever find out? will she hurt and suffer through divorce like i will? Doesnt she deserve to feel the same pain i feel? WAS IT WORTH IT????????????????????????? i cant handle this pain ***************************************
MAY 10, 2006
Im dying a slow painful death and i dont know how to deal with it. It's taking all of me to function. I cant eat or sleep and all i can do is cry and vomit. i talked to mike, he knows its over. My heart hurts so freaking much but i dont know what else to do. I need to figure out what to do next but im still numb. my finger feels so naked without my wedding band.
17 years ....gone.
*************************************
MAY 11, 2006
Mike called me last night. Allie was next to me when it rang and i felt compelled to answer it. I dont want the girls to know whats going on. I remember the pain and the trauma I went through as a girl and i cant bear for them to go through that. I was calm and I probably even seemed forgiving...which i regret because im tired of making this easy for THEM. I want so much to pretend that everything will be ok but it wont be and i know that deep in my heart nothing will ever be the same again. The last 4 times i spared my own feelings of pain so that i could make it easy for them and what did that get me??? Only more heartache and more pain. I forgave them over and over again and it was like handing them a permission slip to go another round each time. I cant go any more rounds..im finished. She won. Im tired of hurting and this hurt will not go away. I will not pretend everything will be ok anymore. I tried that and it didnt disappear like i had hoped and prayed.
Mike emailed me and said he understands what pain in the heart feels like now, but does he? Has he felt it for months now as i have? Does he even have a clue what it feels like to have your heart hurt every damn day month after month? Does he realize that 1 day of wondering whats going to happen to your family is nothing compared to 3 months of it? Its pure hell.
When i talked to him he said that he wanted to come home this weekend. I have mixed emotions. Of course i want to see him, of course i want to talk about this....but can i handle more empty promises? Will all be forgiven again just because i want so desperately to move on and pretend this never happened? Can i do that AGAIN?? I dont think i can.
***************************************
MAY 12, 2006
I sit and wonder all day if she's trying to call him. I'll never know anymore, she changed her password. Now all ill ever have is his word to go by and i already know how far that got me before. Not sure it matters anymore anyway. Let her have him. She talks about how she refuses to lose and cant stand not winning.....well take him you bitch, he's yours.
***************************************
MAY 12, 2006
Ok, i didnt mean that. I mean, i dont know what or how to deal with this i guess. One minute im falling apart trying to figure out how to trust and love again and the next minute im full of rage and anger and want to get on the next plane to ohio with the girls. Im an emotional rollercoaster and its probably a good idea i not see him for awhile. There's no point in torturing him with hope if im only going to take it away with each swing of emotion. I just need time to think. Im exhausted from this all and my heart is hurting.
***************************************
I just read our phone bill...im mad again. I just dont think ill ever get over the deception and the way they snuck around to do this knowing how much my heart was hurting. It didnt matter to them, it meant NOTHING. My pain, heartache, friendship and marriage wasnt enough to keep them from one another SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR PAIN NOW!!!!!!!!!
Its too late now. I tried, i really did try. He should of thought about the consequences each time i reminded him of what they were. Each time he picked up the phone to call her or see her when she called. he should of thought about it then. They were never sorry...only sorry they were caught AGAIN. Its not my fault they were stupid. He made his choice now he can live with it.
I was the fool....im not playing that part again.
****************************************
MAY 12 PM
Im missing him so much.
I want so much for this to work. I cant help but wonder if he just wants it to because it would be more convenient. Is he just trying to avoid starting over, or preventing the girls from having to deal with a divorce...or is he worried that if we split it would cause embarrassment, or that he would have to be apart from his children?
Our whole marriage i questioned his love for me and i dont want to do that anymore. I just want to know that he does. How do i know??? All of this has only amplified my fear of thinking he settled when he married me. He knows i've always struggled with that, why would he confirm those thoughts in my mind if it werent true?
I want so much to be together, forever...like its suppose to be. But is that enough? Is it enough to make it work if only one of us wants it for the right reasons?
Will he always compare me to her? Will i be able to laugh with him on the phone now without thinking of her and wondering if i make him smile as much as she did? Isnt that what he enjoys aboutt her? When we make love will i be able to without wondering if he's wishing he was with her? Will i be tormented with the constant questioning i know i will have running through my head. Will i be loving one moment and bitter the next like my emotions seem to be doing now...forever? Is that really fair to him? If i forgive him arent i suppose to completely forgive and forget? Can i forget?
Im so confused. I just want so much to talk to him and beg him to come home but i dont know how my emotions will be from one moment to the next right now. I want to call him but im afraid. I dont know what to say and im afraid he'll get tired of the questions i still have. Im afraid to know if he's talked to her again tonite but i need to know too. I need him to tell me without me having to ask and i dont think we've reached that. I still think he will withhold that unless i ask....and even then im still not sure of an honest answer. I need to feel like we're on the same team. I want so much to make this work but i need to feel that to begin to rebuild the trust.
I need to call him. I need him to know that through all of this i still love him. I'll always love him. I just need the same in return. Is that asking too much?
**************************************
Mike came home this weekend. I called him and told him that if he wanted this to work that i would try. He thanked me for giving him another chance and promised not to let me down ever again. I know he is sincere but my guard is still up because im in protection mode. I want so much to believe him this time ...but i wanted it just as much the last few times too and im afraid ME wanting something isnt enough..so im not sure how to respond. I do know that the past 17 years is worth fighting for though and i intend to give it one more go. I think in time I will know if it was worth it. For now i think it is and if he fails me again i will at least walk away with my tattered heart knowing there was nothing more i could have done. He either loves me, or he doesnt. I guess i'll find out.
Here we go again.....
***************************************
MAY 16, 2006
Ive been trying so hard to let this go but i cant. Im hurting so bad again today. I guess i cant get past this anger and really need some therapy. Mike has been very patient and trying to answer all of my questions as i think of them but for some reason today im feeling the pain all over again. I guess when i sit and think about things i get mad and hurt and i wonder if im too forgiving.
I just want this pain to go away.
***************************************
MAY 17, 2006
I wrote her a letter today. I dont know why but for some reason i needed to.
The Letter:
i just want you to know how fucking much i hurt. do you care?? do you FUCKING CARE!!!!!
MIKE AND I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF YOU.
I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE OF YOU.
YOU FUCKED MY WORLD UP AND I HATE YOU FOR IT
I FUCKING CRY ALL DAY EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS BECAUSE OF YOUR FUCKING BETRAYAL. YOU WERE NEVER A FRIEND TO ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT HURTS???? I WANTED SO MUCH TO BELIEVE I WAS WRONG AND MONTH AFTER MONTH IT WAS LIKE THE BOTH OF YOU STABBING ME IN THE FUCKING HEART OVER AND OVER AGAIN. LIES....MORE LIES AND PROMISES. THATS ALL I GOT AND IT MADE MY FUCKING STOMACH SICK, YET I WOULD STILL HANG ON TO HOPE. FOR 4 FUCKING MONTHS I HUNG ON TO LIES AND I KEPT BELIEVING BECAUSE I WANTED IT SO FUCKING BAD!!
I WAS A FUCKING FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BET THE TWO OF YOU LAUGHED ABOUT IT.....I BET YOU BOTH CALLED ME A FUCKING FOOL AND GIGGLED AS YOU TALKED FOR HOURS ON THE PHONE.
I TRIED SO HARD TO TRUST. I PRAYED LIKE I NEVER PRAYED BEFORE HOPING YOU WOULD BOTH GIVE ME REASON TO TRUST AGAIN......HOPING IT WOULD GO AWAY BUT EVERY FUCKING MONTH I WAS FACED WITH MORE LIES AND MORE BETRAYAL AND I HATE YOU FOR IT BECAUSE ALL I WANTED WAS A FRIEND AND A HUSBAND WHO FELT ENOUGH ABOUT ME TO STOP KILLING ME. I WAS WILLING TO LET IT GO EACH TIME BECAUSE I WANTED SO DESPERATELY TO BELIEVE IT WOULD GO AWAY......BUT IT DIDNT!!!!!!!! BECAUSE THE BOTH OF YOU DIDNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ME OR MY PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO WATCH YOU LIE TO MY FACE??? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO LOOK AT MIKE AND KNOW THAT HE FUCKING RUINED OUR LIFE .........FOR YOU????????????????????
WHAT THE FUCK FOR SHAUNA???? WHAT DID YOU WANT FROM HIM?
LOVE?????? DO YOU LOVE HIM SHAUNA?????
DOES HE LOVE YOU?????????
HE SAYS HE DOESNT BUT I DONT FUCKING KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS ANYMORE!!!!!
I WANTED SO MUCH TO HURT YOU BACK SO THAT YOU COULD FEEL A FRACTION OF THIS PAIN IN HOPE MINE WOULD GO AWAY....BUT IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY . NOTHING I CAN DO TO HURT YOU BACK WILL EVER MAKE THIS GO AWAY
HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO REACT WHEN YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU HAD TO SEE A THERAPIST BECAUSE YOU CANT STOP THINKING OF MY HUSBAND?? WHY THE FUCK DID YOU EVEN TELL ME THAT??? DID YOU LOVE TO SEE ME SUFFER?? ....DID YOU GET SOME SORT OF PLEASURE OUT OF TEARING MY HEART TO SHREDS???? WAS I SUPPOSE TO BE FLATTERED THAT YOU COULDNT GET MY FUCKING HUSBAND OUT OF YOUR HEAD??
WHY DID YOU TELL MIKE THAT I TOLD YOU THAT I WANTED TO DIVORCE HIM ?? WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT?? .....DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD LEAVE HIM LAST YEAR? IT WAS BECAUSE I FELT LIKE HE DIDNT LOVE ME AND I WONDERED WHY I WAS IN A MARRIAGE WHERE I DIDNT FEEL LOVED. DID YOU TELL HIM THAT PART SHAUNA?? DO YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE REASON TO FEEL MORE LOVE FROM HIM NOW THEN I DID BACK THEN?? IS THIS HOW YOU TEAR A FUCKING MARRIAGE APART?? DID YOU TELL HIM THAT SO THAT HE COULD FEEL BETTER ABOUT TALKING TO YOU , OR WAS THAT FOR YOUR CONSCIENCE??? DID YOU EVEN FEEL GUILT? I IMAGINE NOT..........BECAUSE YOUR SELFISH AND ITS ALL ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!!! THATS ALL ITS EVER ABOUT.
YOU DONT DESERVE A REAL FRIEND........AND YOU DONT DESERVE BORIS EITHER.
AFTER LAST TUESDAY YOU STILL CONTINUED TO TRY AND CALL MIKE. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
YOU HAVENT DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE SHAUNA??
DONT REPLY TO THIS......I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SAY. I JUST NEEDED TO LET SOME OF MY ANGER AND PAIN OUT AND I THOUGHT YOU DESERVED TO HEAR SOME OF IT. I DONT EXPECT YOU TO FEEL THE PAIN YOU'VE CAUSED .........I REALIZE NOW THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO GIVE A SHIT. MY TEARS AND MY HEARTACHE MEANT NOTHING TO YOU THE PREVIOUS TIMES THAT I BEGGED FOR YOU TO STOP HURTING ME AND I CERTAINLY DONT EXPECT THEM TO MEAN ANYTHING NOW.
I JUST THOUGHT FOR THE RECORD YOU WOULD FEEL GOOD KNOWING YOU WON...........I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS TO YOU.
YOU SET OUT TO HURT ME , AND FOR THE FUCKING LIFE OF ME I DONT KNOW WHY......BUT YOU WON.
**************************************
MAY 18, 2006
I wanted to go to bed early tonite but i find myself another sleepless night. I cant help but wonder if they are on the phone. I realize that i may never get over this because i dont know if i'll ever trust again. The thought of this eats at me. Are they sleeping? Or have they found another way to communicate?
Is it unrealistic for me to think im being lied to, yet again? How will i know? Why should i strictly rely on his word when there is no weight to carry itself in it? Am i being the fool again....when i swore to myself that i wouldnt?? Im not sure why i would put myself through something that has already caused me so much pain.
Mike comes home tomorrow ...i hope i will enjoy seeing him for the right reasons. Im still not sure if its just relief in knowing they cant talk as long as he's by my side, or if i truly feel his remorse this time. I will never be happy and secure in this marriage if thats the only reason i want him near me. Im still not sure i can make love to him and i dont even want to try in fear of having to either stop midway, or continue on with it while im crying inside. I just want this to be better, and God knows im trying but im not sure i can handle too many more nights of no sleep because im wondering if they are still talking. I've read some of my old posts in this diary and i realize that ive had this conversation with myself so many times now only to be fooled again......yet here i am wanting to trust again. Am i trusting too easily?? Is that what has allowed them to continue to lie so easily to me? Do they know how naive and gullable i am to their betrayal? Am i naive and gullable to it? ..or is it just easier to believe soley because its what i want and need to believe to hold my heart together?
Someone stepped in front of the train today. We all thought it was suicide...everyone kept saying, "how could someone be so depressed that they would step in front of a train?" ....i thought to myself how easily i could see that. Apparently they dont know what it feels like to hurt that fucking much. I do.
When something hurts you over and over and over again and you cant see the cycle ending you know that might be the only way to stop it. Its what it feels like to be totally desperate and helpless. Its knowing you have no control of the pain that is brought upon you and the only way you know how to is by something devastating. like divorce, or standing in front of a train. Its your way of showing someone how much pain you feel in your heart and how maybe then they would understand how much it truly hurt you because telling them wasnt ever enough.
I see a therapist next week. I hope and pray i will begin to heal. This marriage is going to make it or not and I want to be prepared for whatever that happens to be. Mike said he would go too...not sure if he wants to hear what i have to say though. Even after all the hurt and pain he is causing me, im not sure i could let him hear all the hate i have inside of me for them right now. Thats what love is. Love is doing all that you can NOT to hurt someone. Im not sure either one of them understand that.
***************************************
MAY 20, 2006
Mike came home for the weekend. This day was suppose to be wonderful, full of promises of our future and forgiveness and it was ruined. Im devastated once again. This morning as mike got out of bed to make coffee i layed there wondering if we were going to make it. As i lay there thinking i noticed his wallet was on the bedside table. I have never felt the need to look through his things before , but things are different now and i couldnt help myself. He came back into the bedroom to see me sifting through his things but i didnt care. Sure enough, i see a folded yellow piece of paper that revealed an email address. It said: [email protected] instantly felt a wave of hurt and pain all over again. I think it comes harder each time now. The pain is so intense i can hardly stand it anymore and i feel like im losing this fight.
Immediately mike insists its old. Does he not realize this pain he causes? The email address she was using is his favorite female name, and MY last name. I wanted to throw up , i could not believe my eyes. It is bad enough that she continues to contact my husband, but to take MY FUCKING NAME!!!!!! I cant even finish writing this because im so sick at the thought. ..more later.
MAY 30, 2006
Ok so I havent gotten back to my last posting and i just assume drop it but it will forever hurt my heart. Basically she has found another way to drive a knife through me. Taking my name was the ultimate form of betrayal from anyone i could imagine, no less a friend. A BEST friend. Nope...no best friend would ever do that.
I have since talked to her and im not sure how to feel about everything. Obviously i lost a friend throughout this and it hurts ...and i want so much to go back in time so that we could still be friends, but thats not possible so i know that it will probably never be. I dont think she understands why im so full of anger. I am angry because she risked our friendship and mike risked our marriage. They both put something so valuable on the line and because of that we have all lost it all. Now she makes it seem as though im suppose to let it go and be friends again. Is it that simple? Didnt i give them plenty of opportunity to avoid all of this?? How come it wasnt important to them then? Now she wants forgiveness....but does she really even know what she has done wrong? When I talked to her last week she was very ugly to me and made it appear as though this was all about some issues i was having...she actually had the nerve to blame this on my weight and my work. For the life of me i still cant understand where that comes from. Sure i bitch about my weight and work sometimes, isnt that what friends do?? ....no dear shauna...this has NOTHING to do with that. This is about a friend calling my husband and emailing him behind my back while looking at me straight in the face and lying to me about it. This is about a woman pursuing my husband and continuing to do so after i had asked numerous times to stop...and then forcing him to lie about it to avoid breaking a friendship up. Now im not making it seem as though he's innocent, but at least he acknowledges his wrong doing. She is either in denial, or thinks if she pretends this is about something else that maybe her conscience can handle it better. So she fucked up....why is it that she cant just hold herself accountable for this? Does she really have to apologize by saying, "i wasnt there when you needed a friend the most" ...when i needed a friend the most? what the hell does that mean? I swear i still think she thinks this is about something else. Excuse me...hello? Would i need a friend the most ..at all?? if she werent stabbing me in the back? ..you tell people you're sorry you werent there for them when they needed a friend when someone ELSE hurt your friend, not when you are the one doing the freaking hurting.
This is getting so old. Im glad shes leaving for the summer.
