Good Morning my lovelies.
Today’s post will not be about my eats, recipes, or how badly I behaved at the Super Bowl Party.
Its a day for me bare my soul. To shed a tear on your proverbial shoulder, if i may…
As you all know, Henry returned from his business trip last week. I expected it to be somewhat difficult to transition into “us” again, but had hope and faith that Love would prevail.
I saw Henry… but it wasnt the Henry that I remember. It was a beaten and depressed version of the once happy and smiley man that I fell in love with. He came to visit but I could tell something was different. I couldnt put my finger on it but i attributed it to perhaps nerves or shock to the changes once again in his life.
But then he stood me up on the day we planned to celebrate our anniversary.
And he has not answered a single phone call from me since then…
My conclusions…
This version of Henry has been altered. Maybe he fell in love with someone in Ecuador. Maybe he cheated. There are so many things running through my mind.
But right now, I see that this was a true test in our relationship. I did everything that I could to keep it going but it wasnt enough. He gave up on me. And for a moment I wanted to give up on myself… but I cant do that! I have never been in a situation like this but I feel that its going to make me an even stronger woman than before!
The point of this post today though is not to feel sorry for me… But its to those women that are in dead end relationships and dont want to be alone. I was with henry for a little over a year. During that year I have found so many deal breakers that i was willing to just ignore or hope would change all because I was so unwilling to be alone.
So today is the start of a new self-loving journey. I have found some really amazing support through this blog and I hope that you all can find strength in yourselves to love yourself MORE.
Henry has never read this blog but I hope he one day sees how stupid he was…mainly because he let an amazing woman (me) get away.
We will be back to our scheduled posts shortly!
aw Diva..my heart is breaking for you right now. You've got more going for you than most women do at twice your age, don't spend another minute thinking that maybe there was something you could have done differently…Breakups are never easy (trust me, I am going thru one right now) but if we can see past the immediate pain, we'll understand that it's the best thing and we can grow from the experience. Chin up and smile
You never know what's comin around the bend….
Oh honey, I'm so sorry you're hurting. You're a fabulous, kind, funny, smart woman. I've only known you through this blog and I already know that much. He may be going through a hard time or trying to figure things out. Either way, you'll be fine. You don't need a man to be fabulous! HUGS HUGS HUGS TO YOU!!
I am so sorry that you have to go through this…you are an amazing, beautiful, smart, funny, and talented woman and do not deserve to be treated this way. I am here for you chickie!!!!!! Love you!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man, that is tough. I'm sorry! Yes, Henry is an idiot. But you're right. It will make you a stronger woman for sure. I wish I could give you a hug. I hope you feel better soon!
I'm so sorry you had to go through this but I'm happy to see that you know how much you are worth! You are an amazing woman and you deserve to be treated like one!
Reflection – you took today to reflect and that is so awesome! You are so right, it is so easy to choose to ignore so many things until but now that you've decided to take a look at whats really going on, you will be okay. I'm confident, you will be okay!Take care of yourself – now is the time for you! Others do what they want but only you can take care of you!
I'm sorry, Mo. I love your outlook and attitude, but this must be a painful time for you. Take extra special care of your fabulous self, and you are so right- today is the start of a new self-loving journey. You deserve the best xxx
Aw, Mo, I'm so sorry. I feel like I'm coming into the middle of the story since I'm kind of a newish reader here … but here's what I know for sure: you are an amazing, beautiful, smart, strong, sexy woman! You will come through this sadness and be all the wiser for it. You do love yourself and that's the most important thing. You've got a great attitude and I admire you for it. I'm sending you hugs and recommending you do something really special for yourself today. You deserve so much better than this and I know you will have it too! xoxoxoxo
I'm sorry
He's letting a wonderful woman get away. You deserve someone who will treat you like the amazing person you are, not someone who stands you up on your anniversary.
Ah so sorry you have to go through this! I am here for you. You have the right attitude though! Let him see how stupid he is. You are amazing and he is missing out. Looks like we are due for some drinks…
He just stood you up? What a coward! All the others here are being the supportive friends, but I'll be the angry vengeful one. You don't just NOT show up for an anniversary celebration and hide in a corner, pretending the past year never happened. The man needs to grow some balls and either say, "It's over," or, "I want to try again." None of this mamby pamby leave-her-to-wonder-in-the-dark business. I'm sorry, but I say good riddance.
Oh, no…I am so sorry for what you're going through. LOVE your attitude. Everytime a relationship ends for me, I truly believe it's for a good reason and that it's their loss.
I see way too many people experience bad/negative things in relationships, and no one should have to put up with that.
Am running outa words here…jus wanna hug u a winnie de pooh huggie topped with love and tell ya all will be better…..It hurts a lot sure but the sun will shine bright soon enough…indulge in all that brings u happiness ,cheer ,peace and solace…A bit later when henry look back he'll know what an idiot he is to loose a gurl as fantastic as u and when u look back,by then with a man if ur dreams by ur side,u'll know how blessed u were to get him outa ur life….coz u dont deserve any of this ….he's been lousy and thats a fact…take all the time in the world to get back to ur food posts and do indulge in some hot chocolate sometimes to keep u warm …will be rite here waiting for u…and if u need a virtual shoulder …jus sos and will be right here….
I would do anything to give you a million hugs right now. Use this opportunity, Mo.. feel empowered..grow.. accept fate.. realize that your SOULMATE is out there waiting for you! I have the upmost faith that everything happens for a reason. You are strong and I know there is a bright light waiting for you. all my love, beautiful <3 Let me know if you need to chat – k?
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. But I gotta admire your strong words! That's amazing, and so great that you can see that you're coming out of this on top. You are absolutely right. Better now than later. And the best part is, when you find someone new, you get to go through the fun stage of getting butterflies in your stomach over a new dude, and that's a great feeling if you ask me.
Oh my gosh girly! My heart is seriously breaking for you! I don't even know what to say! I am so glad that my Valentine's package made it to you just in time, and I am glad it's been able to semi cheer you up! Break ups are never easy, and for you this has to be insanely hard. For him to be gone… come back and be distant and things just end like that. Oh my goodness I am so sorry!! Maybe you'll be able to get some closure out of all of this. Just know that you are an amazing person with a lot of talent and people who care about you. Obviously he wasn't your soul mate which means your soul mate is still out there! Don't lose hope! If you ever need to talk you can always email me! In college I went through a horrible breakup and found out he cheated on me and had gotten a girl pregnant!!! So seriously I`m here for you if you need to talk! <3 you!
oh no Mo – give me his number I will straighten his little henrito right out… You are strong and you will emerge from this a better person – hopefully you two will talk and you can find out what the deal is.
hugs for you. and a giant ass margarita. you're so strong for going through this and you deserve A THOUSAND times better! you're beautiful and wonderful and just know that you deserve someone who won't make you break any of your dealbreakers
I absolutely adore your blog and think you are an amazing person. With ths great attitude I know you can get through this. Keep your head up like the food snob you are
I am sending you a virtual margarita and a couple of abrazos, not because I feel sorry, but because your words deserve a good toast! The boy is blind so poo on him! Take care Hun! We got your back!
Sounds like a very familiar story. One that I've starred in… lol. You have a great blog and a wonderful ongoing story to tell. Don't settle for less than you deserve!
Hugs and loves to my favorite Diva!
He is missing out girl, so wave him buh bye!
we should have drinks one of these days. A toast to how awesome we are no matter what! 
Hugs and Love!We will meet up soon for a little Mo Diva party time.

I feel sorry for him for giving up on such a wonderful woman! Live on happily!
Mo, I am sorry I am so late in commenting on this. I am so sorry for your break-up. I hope you are doing well. I love that you look on the bright side and realize it was for the best. It still hurts though & I understand that. XOXO to you!!
