Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums Infidelity/Extramarital Affairs/Jealousy Life goes on .... Part III

Wow, another thread locked up. Thanks to everyone who has been reading and giving great advice.

Tomorrow school starts. Where did the summer go? I face new faces. Please say a little prayer for all of the students and teachers for a wonderful and blessed school year. I think I'm ready to get back to school. I think I'm in need of a routine. I will have some of the same students again this year. I'm sure it won't take some of them long to figure out that I'm not wearing a wedding band. I'll just tell them we had some problems we couldn't work out.

Is this your 3rd?

I got to post first this time....

Husband

Ugh, I am half dreading and half looking forward to going back to school. Is everything going on the roller coaster? So many students come from broken homes it is very upsetting. I never thought my little ones would be like that, all dazed from not sleeping in their own beds, drifting from home to home, wondering what is happening in their lives. Sorry ranting here. Maybe the routine will be good Most people are sympathetic to someone going through a divorce. Have fun and dress cute tomorrow.

Hope the day goes smoothly. Glad I found you again.

I never thought my girls would have to suffer this either. I was always so proud that they were some of the few who lived in two parent homes.

Thanks for posting, have a great day.

Hey Mattie and Husband,
Thanks for checking in, hope you have a great day.

Yoyo, have a great week!

PS: I was always proud too that we were the 50% of the girls classes that still had both parents at home. SIGH

Me, too. It cometh before a fall, I guess. I always thought, "Look at all these well-heeled people, who have everything, getting divorced...while we're poor, but in love." So now I know what it feels like. I will be divorced AND poor AND in love. At this point, the only two things I can remedy are the last two, and I will work to do so.

I wish you a great school year, Yoyo. I'm not a teacher, but I know how hard ya'll work.

Yoyo,

Good luck in school.

I've been laid up after an accident. Couldn't get to the computer for quite some time.

Yeah -- that whole pride comes before the fall stuff. I always thought, with some degree of pride, that I had an intact family. Yeah 5 kids, for goodness sake!!!!!! I felt we were on some sort of mission, to provide a haven for hurting people. My wife and kids an I always provided great hospitality, and craziness and fun. Our home was anchored in love, deep wisdom and self-sacrifice. It was playful. I always felt we were a team -- but not just for ourselves -- but as a sign to the world that there is a deeper, richer music than can help us fashion our lives with beauty and love.

Funny. When this all started over a year ago. I went to visit a pastor and his family and stayed overnight. The home flowed with peace and quiet strength. It was one of those places, where the "vibe" of a strong marriage seemed to heal everything around it. To us religious folk that's the power of the age to come flowing into out broken world. Good marriages often are counduits for this healing power.

Yeah....broke but in love.

When we got married we bought our rings from a second-hand jewler. We were broke but in love. The store is still there. I've visited twice in the last year.

When we had a little more money -- I would delight to give it to my wife. I remember a short story by Lin Yutang about a husband who loved to press silver and gold into the palm of his wife's hand. I wanted to be that husband. When she counted on me and I could "press the gold" into her palm, I loved to do so.

Damn it I'm choking up.

Bless you Yoyo and Delia.

Theo,
Welcome back. Your wisdom and guidance was sorely missed by many. The troops were flailing about without Husband and Theo. I can't believe both of you were out of commission basically about the same time.

My H and I too had very little money when we got married. I remember after we had been married about 3 years we built a house. My H said we cut so many corners it's a wonder the house wasn't round. Well, the past few years our business really started to take off and we were living a comfortable life. One of my H's friends from childhood told me he saw how my H was changing. He said I think he got too big for his britches. I've heard him described as arrogant a lot often. It's sad how a little money can change people.
