I did try journalling and stuff last year, but it was not for me. It took me a long time to figure out how to deal with being “attached” with commitment while also surrendering to divine timing. But I think I figured it out - I can’t ignore my marriage, and surrendering must then be surrendering to the timing of her coming back, but not surrendering to the outcome per se.
Once I stopped trying to figure out this puzzle, and accepted union WILL happen by saving our marriage, it’s way easier to surrender to the patience I need with this. I have tried to surrender about the outcome, but surrendering to “not caring if I’ll divorce her or not” is not possible for me. It’s as if my soul, each time I did, was trying to tell me thinking about divorce will not help in any way. It feels like the universe is telling me each time “Let your marriage in our hands, and focus on surrendering to divine timing - you only need patience, Marie-Jeanne. Be patient, trust me, and your marriage will get back on track”.
It’s very hard to explain, but I do believe our marriage is meant to keep our story active within separation (and keep our family a thing), and is the main reason for my twin to face herself. And it has a lot to do with her past, though I see other reasons too.
I don’t want to go into specifics, but my twin was in a submissive relationship before me, with a contract that made her almost a slave. But since it was nothing legal, when she decided to quit, she could do it and the contract had no value. When I married her, my fear was that our marriage contract would become the same if she wanted to end our relationship - meaning that it would have no value for her whatsoever, and that our vows would mean nothing.
I believe the meaning of our marriage was a big part of the things she had to learn within separation. I’m saying this because of how she left, how she rejected our marriage so quickly, and all the things she said since. So yes, @Choose-You-Always , the meaning of commitment was part of our journey, and I do believe it’s linked to unconditional love - my twin needed to accept that marriage is not a chain (again, submission…) but a promise, and that YES she deserves to be unconditionally loved, which she could never accept before, as she had a hard time accepting love from me, let alone unconditional.
We’re in no contact since August, but I know she has made a lot of progress towards rebuilding our marriage by doing inner work and learning how to love herself and be self-sufficient. I believe divorce scared her (like, forever loosing me) and she now wants to play her part again in our “Me, You, Us” balance, and she working towards it and her independence. And in all this, she has redefined the meaning of our marriage - psychics are telling me she realized she made a huge mistake in regards to this, and she is focused on saving our marriage by becoming my best partner.
I hope I’m right with this, but it does feel accurate.
