I spent the rest of the evening fighting back tears.
The following day, he returned and sat beside my bed. As he reached for my hand, his fingers accidentally brushed against my stitches, and he immediately pulled away.
"Jesus! What happened to you?"
"I had stitches. The delivery was difficult."
He shook his head.
"I just can't stand the thought of it."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"What thought? That I had to go through all that to give birth to our daughter?"
"Don't make it sound like I'm blaming you. I'm just uncomfortable seeing all of this."
"All of what? My body? The stitches? The fact that I just gave birth?"
He said nothing.
I started crying.
"For nine months, I worried about whether you'd still find me attractive. I kept dressing up, wearing heels even when my legs hurt, and trying so hard not to look different. And now, after everything my body has been through, you're making me feel like I should be ashamed of it."
He lowered his head.
I turned away from him, but before he left, he quietly said he needed some time.
The next morning, he came back and sat beside me. This time, he held my hand gently.
"Catherine, I'm sorry. I've been thinking about how I treated you, and I feel terrible. You had just gone through so much to bring our daughter into the world, and I made you feel worse instead of supporting you. I don't know what came over me, but you didn't deserve that."
I looked at him without saying anything.
He apologized again and promised to be present for me and our daughter.
I wanted to believe him, but something inside me had changed.
For months, I'd been afraid that pregnancy would make him stop finding me beautiful. I never imagined that the moment I needed his love and reassurance most would be the moment I'd feel least loved.
Would you give this boyfriend another chance after such a hurtful experience, or would his reaction change the way you see him forever?
If you happen to have any dreams of becoming a successful person pls start today & don't wait for when you ready.
Small steps can lead you to your destination faster than someone who is wanting for the perfect time before he/she would act.
