The Irony of Her Prayer

 

The woman who helped destroy my marriage is now praying for a man who won’t destroy her.

The same woman who had no regard for my pain, my home, my vows—now pleads for a love that won’t treat her the way she helped someone treat me.

It’s almost poetic.

But what stings a little less these days is that I no longer feel threatened by her.
I feel pity.

Because it must be a lonely thing to realize you were never loved the way you thought. That you weren’t chosen. That you weren’t special. You were just useful—until you weren’t.

And still, I struggle to believe she deserves the kind of love she’s asking for.

Not because I’m bitter.
Not because I want revenge.
But because I’ve seen the wreckage she left behind—and walked through it alone.

When someone actively chooses to hurt another woman,
when she willingly becomes a weapon in someone else's betrayal,
when she romanticizes a stolen love story—

She doesn't deserve a soft landing until she learns what it means to take responsibility.

Because I once begged for the love she’s now asking for.

The difference?
I wasn’t standing on someone else’s pain to ask for it.
I was broken and still chose integrity.
I was betrayed and still chose to heal quietly.

She caused pain and now wants peace.
She brought chaos and now prays for calm.
But life doesn't work like that.

You don't get to hurt someone deeply, walk away untouched, and then ask God for a man who will never do to you what you helped do to someone else.


So no—I don’t think she deserves a good man. Not yet.

Not until she faces the woman she was to me.
Not until she apologizes for what she knowingly took part in.
Not until she understands that being “discarded” isn’t karma—it’s clarity finally catching up.

And as I watch her search for something real, I realize:

I’m not angry anymore. I just know better now.

Let her pray.
Let her wait.
Because real love doesn’t come to those who steal it from others.
It comes to those who build it with clean hands and an honest heart.


And I just sat there for a moment. Not angry. Not hurt. Just... sure.

Because it’s clear now:
She didn’t win.
She never did.

That post wasn’t filled with joy or contentment.
It was filled with longing. With disappointment. With realization.
A soft, public prayer wrapped around a very private regret.


It’s funny how life works.

She once took pride in what she thought she "took" from me.
She called it love. She called it fate.
She watched my marriage unravel and thought it meant she was chosen.

But you were never chosen.
You were convenient.
You were temporary.
You were part of a chapter that was bound to collapse—because it was written in dishonesty, betrayal, and stolen time.

And now? Now you’re asking God to give you what you thought you already had.


You’re not the victim. Let’s be clear.

You don’t get to play innocent after playing the other woman.
You don’t get to hurt someone, then ask heaven for healing without ever making amends.

What you had wasn’t love.
It was an illusion built on my silence, my pain, my absence.
And illusions fade.
They always do.

Now you sit there, asking for a real love, a steady partner, a future.

As for me?

I’ve moved on.
Not because I found someone new—but because I found myself again.

You see, I’ve already lived through the worst of it.
I faced the betrayal, the gaslighting, the nights of asking why me.
And now I look back, not with bitterness—but with wisdom.

You got what you wanted… but not for long.
Because anything built on deception has an expiration date.
And yours just came.

⚠️ KABIT SERYE‼️⚠️

Today would supposedly mark our 4th wedding anniversary, but before our 3rd one, our marriage was already over. It ended when we were still in our 2nd year of marriage, when he chose to start an affair.

June 05, 2021, when I walked down the aisle and said "I do", but by November 2023, he had chosen to destroy the family he built by starting an affair with a girl who is a bar dancer.

By May of 2024, I discovered his infidelity thru their sex scandals with that girl on the deleted files of his phone—like mura ko og ga tan-aw og Pornhub ang bida akong bana og iyang kabit. However, since we're married and we have a child, I gave chances, I accepted his alibi that it was just a prostitute, a one-night stand. I tried to save our marriage and understand and reason out for his actions and behaviors—that he's just a man who was tempted, a man who's not perfect, a man who can commit mistakes—so I forgave him since I'm a wife and a mother.

2 months later, by July of 2024, I caught their exchange of I love yous, their deleted messages about me being a bad wife whom he doesn’t love anymore, and so on and so forth with the same girl in the sex scandal that I saw last May of 2024. They never stopped their relationship. They got the thrill in their relationship because it was all behind my back, and I was foolish enough to believe his lies. So, without regret, I let him go. I couldn't save the marriage alone kay it really takes two to tango. To cut the long story short, I let him be who he wants to be, kay you cannot control someone's choices. He wanted to walk away and be with that girl, so I let him. He chose someone else over me, then I let him—kay you cannot force someone to see your worth, but you can refuse to let their actions define your value. I believe that if someone is meant to be with you, they'll never need to be convinced to stay. So, I stopped fighting for a spot in his life as he already showed me where I stand—where I was just an option.

So, don't pity me for being a single mom.

This was my choice—to protect our peace, to choose love over chaos, to prioritize my child's well-being over the drama they bring to our life.

I don't need sympathy;

I need you to see the strength it takes to do it all alone and with my family, and still give my child the kind of love they'll never have to recover from.

It's not easy.

But it's ours, and I'd choose it again every time.

This is what I want Sam2x to see and learn from her mom: self-worth, respeto sa kaugalingon, og self-love. Kay og mopadayon ko og tolerate sa iyang Dad for the sake nga completo lang gyud ang pamilya ni Sam2x, as a grown woman, she will accept disrespect kay mao man iya nakita nga binuhatan nako—nga sugot lang ulion sa bana og kanus-a ganahan. She will accept bana nga naay uyab-uyab sab kay mao man iya nakita sa iya pagdako—nga “ako gani, Dad minyo ni Mommy pero naa sab siyay uyab.”

I don't want that for Sam2x. Mao nga dili nako tanuman og dumot or hatred ang bata towards sa iyang amahan nga utok sa ubos ra ang gamit. Ang nahibaw-an ni Sam2x—ga-work ra jud na iyang Dad. No more, no less.

If you see Sam2x, let's spare her the details. She knows her Dad works hard, and that's enough. Don’t ask anything more about her Dad kay usa ra jud matubag niya ninyo: “Ga-work iya Dad to buy toys.” I'm sharing this to show my daughter the importance of self-respect and not settling for anything less.

Those things happened a year ago and here I am, a living testament of God's mercy and love for me. In everything that I've been through, I know that He is with me all the time. That is why now, as you can see me, I'm radiating and glowing from the inside. I'm more at peace now—no more sleepless nights waiting and worrying sa bana nga ang pananghid mag-serve og warrant pero toa diay sa bar nag-bouncer sa uyab nga dancer kay mahadlok ma-table og lain.

In everything that happened, I'm forever grateful and blessed in every way.
