What do the tattoos look like and where are they (on him)?
One on each tricep. Let's just say they have to do with artwork from his favorite band but they also represent each of our children. And I agree, it was very much like an adolescent break. But that's also what bugs the crap out of me about it.

Is one of the reasons you can't forgive because HE thoughtlessly indulged in this totally selfish overthrow of the known order and that's something you would have liked to do but could not ever let yourself do because of your children?
What grown adult hasn't fantasized even a little bit about ditching all the responsibilities and going off on their own. Heck yeah, I've thought about it. But here I sit, even after the fact. So it makes him seem like a boy at times, not a man. But to be fair, he was never totally selfish. He was still great with the kids as a father and gave me more money than he had to in order to cover my expenses. (Not that it matters now because he was racking up debt in the meantime which I ended up inheriting when he came back). Happy to say we just paid the last of it off this month! Debt free!
