What Getting Cheated On Taught Me About Trust // The Nona Jones Show // Episode 10

Today I want to tackle the issue of cheating because social media has made it easier than ever for people to do it. If you have been cheated on, you know it is a devastating experience that completely obliterates trust.
Some people have been so devastated by cheating that they have sworn off the idea of ever trusting someone again. But, I want to share my story and what I learned because my hope is that you will open yourself to the possibility of being loved well one day.

    Thanks for sharing! I needed this after discovering a friend backstabbing me by seeing a guy I talked to for over a year behind my back. And when I found out about them lying and cheating; she lied to mutual friends and others and portrayed herself as the victim. I don't think the cheating hurt as much as it was her and she was my only confidant when I dealt with him. She knew my secrets and I really thought she was my friend only to realize I was dealing with a snake the entire time. My trust is at an all time low after dealing with them both. He's a narcissist and she's just a snake. To experience that back to back has really changed the innocence and invigoration I once had about life. It doesn't help they're off in the wind without a care in the world while my heart breaks and the trauma just really takes me down. I'm definitely much better than I used to be; but it still hurts to my core.

    I loved this. Very similar to my story as well & it’s funny how describing how these experiences wound you sound “dramatic” to other people. It really does alter how you see people and relationships. But love the outcome and wisdom from your story 🥳❤

    I’m praying my way through, it took me diving deep focusing on Gods words to keep me from cutting his stomach open. I didn’t go looking for cheating evidence it found me. I felt like a fool and I wanted revenge, opened Gods word and the page literally read vengeance is mine! I screamed my voice into a hoarse state. It took God to pull me out, I couldn’t do it on my own strength.

    When you are healed you remember but the trauma and hurt is not longer with it. I knew I forgave my ex when I saw him once, and didn't feel anything and I pray for, and feel sorry for his now wife.

    This took me straight back to when I was in the Air Force, stationed in Germany in the 80s. Then, I was so needy and wanting SOMEONE to validate me and fill that big gap lodged in my soul, I fell for a lot of ropey dope. I remember this one dude. He might’ve given me a hint that he liked me and I ran with it. I can see his face right now. This one day I must’ve called him a hundred times. Never picked up the phone. Then the male and female barracks weren’t that far from each other, separated by a locked door. Finally, after sitting on the bed, listening to ring after ring, I walked over the male dorm. I remember knocking on the door, in the middle of it was a glass window. Knocked. Someone told him I was out there. He came to the window, touching his heart, saying his grandmother was sick. That was the reason he didn’t answer my calls or reach out to me. I was devastated. Another blow. I could imagine him walking from his room to the door, saying‘I gotta get rid of this nut.’ He used his grandmother as an excuse. 😩😩 From then on until NOW, I’ve embarked on a journey to self, intertwined with ‘ why haven’t I found that ONE?’ Because of that experience, amongst others, I’ve begun a ministry of writing letters of inspiration to prisoners and penpals across the world. I do this because I don’t want anyone waiting by a phone or a mailbox for a letter of encouragement or inspiration or something to boost their day. Pain can be a prison or a school. NOW, I choose the latter. Thank you Lady Nona for this episode ❤
