Shocked, Confused, and Hurt
Anger set in after being deceived for five years!
“True betrayal in intimate relationships is, “Realizing that the person you shared everything with, was actually hiding everything from you.” ~ Unknown
What can happen when you are telling all your truths to your partner and trusting them with everything sacred in your world, while they are hiding their truths and harboring lies? You will eventually realize that you are being deceived. And if you are truly loving that person, and you are human, you will be very hurt to learn the truth that they have been deceiving you all along.
Merriam spent five whole years in a relationship with a man that she admired, adored, and unabashedly loved.
Oscar Taylor was Merriam Jenkins’ mentor, lover, and best friend. She recalled how his warm embraces always seemed to bring a newness to each encounter with him and deeper excitement to their intimacies. Just being in his presence caused her to languish in the comforting solace she had always craved.
Feeling secure in their relationship, she totally trusted him and shared all her dreams, goals, and endeavors with him after a few years of knowing and loving him. She would often thank “the powers that be” for such a man who was worthy of her attentive support and utmost respect.
