Face the Facts: Deal with the Truth
Back when I was with my ex who cheated on me repeatedly, one day, when I was taking clothes out of the dryer, I found another pair of woman's underwear in the laundry. When I confronted him about it, do you know he tried to lie and say he bought them for me, but it was a surprise? The lacy things weren't even my size!
I let him have it and said a few choice words that I would not repeat now that my mouth has been sanctified. But after all that cussing, screaming, crying and threatening to leave him, you know what I did? I stayed right there and made up excuses for him. Shamefully, I even thought, maybe he did buy them for me. Maybe I am overreacting.
I wasn't ready to face the truth, even while holding some other lady's thongs in my hand.
My internal alarm was screaming, but I remained in that toxic atrocity I called a relationship. I rationalized his unacceptable behavior and came up with a list of reasons why it wasn't a good time to move on, though I promised myself I would someday.
I wasn't ready to face the facts because it was too painful, but that was one of the biggest mistake of my life, and one I don't want you to make. So let me give you an analogy to make this very plain.
