Ms. Imp and her Magic Kumquat

[girlfromipanema]

I broke the news to my dad and grandmother this morning. They asked what happened and I simply said it probably boiled down to cultural differences. I told them I would never say anything negative about my husband. That I still care for him and that I respect him as a person... that deep down he is an honorable man. My grandmother asked me to let my husband know that she appreciates him and will miss him. She said marriage is a grab in the dark and sometimes we think we make the right life decision but it doesn't always turn out the way we planned. I thanked her for being a beautiful example of a loving wife... that I tried with all my might to save my marriage but I am at peace with my new direction in life.

Does it seem like I'm putting down my husband? I don't mean to do so...
