Yeah, what is it with them and the "I deserve to be happy" Bullsh&t? WE ALL DESERVE TO BE HAPPY, but as a close friend of mine in Iraq said "That's an individual Soldier task"! You can't expect someone to make you happy! His wife walked out on him and three girls, which he single handedly raised. He would get up at 3AM when we were in Iraq; 6 hours before his 14 hour day, to do homework with them over the internet. When he was a Reservist, before we were mobilized, he would drive 3 hours to his drill, and return at nigt to be with his wife and kids. Sounds like a guy you want to walk out on, right? Thank goodness God smiled on me and made this guy my roomate and good friend! Things sometimes do happen for a reason. He made me see my W. for who she is. It was hard as hell being in Iraq, and dealing with her snarky personality. Yes. She did have it tough. D17 was at a school for troubled kids that I put her in before I left, because she was a mess. D16 has bulimia and needs treatment, so it was not picnic for her, but what's a divorce going to do to these "resilient" kids? What ARE these people looking for? The family, the commitment, IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE! It doesn't get any better than reading to my son every night, watching him brush his teeth and get into bed, but that will soon be taken away from us, or altered to some unrecognizable form.
My W. actually said to me on the day she suggetsed we get a divorce (July 25, 2005) "Don't you want to find somebody that knocks your socks off?" WHAT? Grow up Cinderella!!!! What about the 3 kids and the house?
