I decided to become single after almost 25 years of marriage. When I did so, I got a lot of criticism from colleagues who thought my husband was such a nice man. He is. But there were far too many challenges within the relationship and my Soul wanted out.
The colleagues were also unhappily married. And as I became happier and more self-confident, I seemed to highlight for them that their choice to stay with their spouses was leading them into more and more misery. So, the back-stabbing began.
When I asked them why they stayed with their abusive partners, I was told they were doing it because of the money - they enjoyed being supported and also getting in some pocket money by working half day at the office.
Some years later, things really went badly financially for the most outspoken of the women. I then asked her why she was still staying in the marriage, and now the answer changed to - because there is no money and I cannot afford to rent a place for myself on my small income.
This woman is displaying the Archetype of the Prostitute ....and the consequences of playing this role. First she stayed for the money. Then she had to stay because there was no money for making new choices.
I believe she has choices, but she cannot see them.
I am so appreciative of the opportunity that I have had, watching this scenario unfold, and allowing me to learn the lesson without going through the actual experience myself,
Never again will I 'stay' for the money. Never will I sell my Soul for the cash. I have seen it bring this woman to her knees - not only in grief, but also into the role of the Beggar.
Thank you to my Guides and Guardians - for giving me the insight into another's plight, so that I may choose a path that is very different. I will take the lesson and use it in my own life.
Thank you ...
