I read a copy of "Men's Health" today, with Jack Nicholson on the cover. I'll read anything I can get my hands on here! Jack, whose been by his own count, with over 2000 women was asked about falling in love. His quote was great. He said "Love" is better translated as that "18 month infatuation period", then Love becomes work!
While we were busy trying to hold it all together in our families, they were wondering where the infatuation went. It becomes work. It's a journey, not a destination. As a good friend of mine told me: "When CAN you get comfortable?"
After the infatuation and lust, love becomes WORK for most people, but our spouses would rather be unemployed in this department.(My love tanks are beyond empty. I can't even try to start the car!. I got that one)
I try to always take the high road when my kids talk about their Mother's behavior. It's all you can do. I will not ever say to them however, that I had ANYTHING to do with this, or iny way wanted ANY of it.
In the movie "Pursuit of Happyness" (yes, that's how it's spelled, with a "y"), Will Smith's wife has left him, and his 5 year old son asks: "Did mom leave because of me?" Will Smith responds: "Mom left because of MOM". That's my answer.
