A Musical Message for My Ex Husband

Here’s a video that I made for my ex-husband, who can’t seem to get the message that I’m not interested in him anymore…
I met my husband when I was just 17 years old, and I got married at the age of 19, which, in all honesty, looking back I was far too young.
Whilst I was engaged to him, I inadvertantly found out from one of his closest friends, that he had cheated on me with another woman. I confronted my fiance, and he confirmed that it was true – but that it was a one off incident and that it would never happen again. I told him that I didn’t want to marry him anymore, as he couldn’t be trusted and I started to pack my bags, ready to leave him.
I had gathered most of my belongings together, and just had a few items to collect from our bedroom before I left and this is when I found him. He was sat on the end of the bed, with a rifle in his mouth. He was crying and he just kept staring at me. He briefly removed the rifle from his mouth, and told me that if I didn’t stay with him, he would kill himself.
Being young and naive (and far too trusting), I truly believed that he would pull the trigger – so I convinced him that I would stay, and would marry him.
True to my word, I did marry him – but I wish that I hadn’t!
My marriage was very unhappy and abusive. I found out 2 months after we got married, that the woman he had the affair with was actually pregnant with his child! From then on in, the relationship got worse, and deteriorated.
It resulted in my having to change my name, and go into hiding whilst my divorce went through.
It has now been over 12 years since I divorced my husband. Yet for some unknown reason, he still continues to pursue me and try to get in contact with me?
The only way that I thought I could finally get the message across to him, was to create the following video…
I’m hoping that once he has watched this, he will finally get the message that I am not interested in him anymore – and haven’t been for many years!

Thanks for the share, it could not have been easy writing it and admitting that you may have been too young etc. A great powerful write.

Good article and message to everyone in a similar situation and hopefully, the vermin will disappear and leave you be. Be strong. My father did the same thing to my naive mother and she suffered through a regrettable marriage only for the sake of her 4 children. She felt she had nowhere to turn in those early days and then just didn’t care and kept to herself. She had a lousy life.
