Congrats?? Not sure if that is correct....but that's how you "sound"??
You know.. I have a little sadness. It's not easy to hear the woman that you love describe good qualities in a man that she has chosen outside of the marriage. And to put forth the idea that she thinks God might be leading her to this; gimme a break.
When she asked why my commitment to her has been so strong; I replied that I made a VOW before God that I had intended to keep. She stated that she didn't. I told her, "YES YOU DID. You were standing right there with me when I made mine." She further stated, "Well I didn't know what I was getting into. I had never been exposed." I guess the three pre-wedding sessions with the minister didn't explain it. Somehow she implied that the marriage was a mistake from the beginning except for our kids. I first I was offended; but really I have said the same thing before in different words and context.
So, yes, I am relieved. I've got some great support from her family and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't deserve to be treated like that anymore. Yet, I still feel sadness for what is lost. Oh well. pity party over. now I need a beer!!!
