💖 And Then I Met My Husband

He was everything I prayed for:

• honest

• loyal

• soft-hearted

• caring

• protective

• steady

And I didn’t know what to do with it.

My nervous system only knew survival mode.

So kindness felt suspicious.

Safety felt foreign.

Love felt like a trap.

I questioned everything he did.

Not because of who he was—

but because of what had been done to me.

Healing in a healthy relationship is brutal.

But we did it.

We grew.

We stumbled.

We healed layer by layer.

And now, four years in—two years married—I finally understand what healthy love feels like.

But even then… something was still haunting me.
