I regret ever giving in to paying for sex.\u00a0 It seemed so convenient.\u00a0 I got what I wanted and could walk away feeling satisfied, but instead I felt dirty, seedy and cheap.\u00a0 I trivialized a beautiful experience and kept coming back for more because the variety and sense of power made me feel like I am more than I am.\u00a0 I was not satisfied with my life and looked outside instead of inside for comfort and happiness.\u00a0 I was miserable in my marriage and felt cheated and trapped.\u00a0 The whores were an outlet for my pain.\u00a0 They were the wrong outlet.\u00a0 Therapy did not help at the time.\u00a0 Now that I am divorced and truly in love, I look back on that time frame with tremendous regrets.\u00a0 I should have left sooner.\u00a0 I should have listened to my parents and grandparents when they said she was not right for me, but I didn’t listen.\u00a0 I thought she would change.\u00a0 She did.\u00a0 She got worse and I also got worse.\u00a0 It took over a decade for it to finally come to a head and now two small lives are also impacted by this poor judgement.\u00a0 I regret what I have done and where I have been, but I have turned over a new leaf and am heading in a more productive direction.\u00a0 I have reaffirmed my faith.\u00a0 I have learned to love myself for who I am.\u00a0 I have learned to appreciate me for me and to cut myself some slack.\u00a0 I have also learned to hold myself accountable for what’s important.\u00a0 My new love has shown me the right doors and I have willingly stepped through them eager to make the positive changes necessary for me to enjoy my life.\u00a0 The best revenge is living well.\u00a0 I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.<\/p>\n
