Lest anyone forget, saying goodbye is still not easy. We LBS'ers get stuck with that.
Yesterday, my W told me she wanted to take the kids away to the Bahamas at the end of the month (I guess for MLK weekend).
? Me: Where are you going to get that money? We're struggling here. W: Well....(voice softens)...I'm gonna get a little help
(Hmmm....note she didn't say my parents)
Me: I'm not sure that leaving the country right now and spending that much money is in our best interests.
(gets angry)
W: You're trying to control me. It's just as expensive to stay here.
In response to my telling her that I am working hard to keep our roof over our head, her voice trailed off to a whimper: W: I don't WANT to be here anymore.
Her conversation goes on to say that I'm a liar...I don't tell the truth...and I was "an absentee husband".
Whoa. Still living in the past. My older sister tells me that when she describes me to her friends, she said, "he's doing brain surgery with one hand, carrying a baby in the other and doing dishes with the other."
Well...I wouldn't go THAT far.
Yeah...perhaps I was absentee on the PC 4 or 5 years ago...but...that was Long, long ago........ in a galaxy far, far away..................
