Oh ... one more thing about yesterday. Since her car was having problems, she took my pickup to work. On the way home, she backed into a car in the parking lot with it.
So, in addition to wrecking our family, saying she had to leave to that she could feel ok about dating other people, demanding we lose $40k we put in our house by selling now, and any other list of major infractions ... we can add an insurance claim and a dent in my truck. Atta girl!
Happy Valentine's Day Honey! You are winning at life!
Isn't it interesting how WASs act out like children (or more precisely, teenagers) no matter the circumstance or background of the marriage? There are quite a lot of reason to this behavior, but I want to list two that I believe play a role:
A. They believe they have a right too. It can be a conscious decision to do so, but can be subconscious as well. We, the spouses, acted like children during our marital problems, so now when our husbands/wife decide they need to be free, they drop their responsible roles and become teenagers -- sometimes mature, sometimes totally not, sometimes certain, sometimes totally not.
B. Two words: The Devil. You know the old saying "An idle mind is the Devil's playground"? The common understanding is literally idle minds (like children's) can lead to bad behavior, bad deeds, etc. From an adult's perspective though, I believe that an idle mind refers to a mind not filled with love, God or both. Without either of them, our mind does everything opposite of God and/or love. Why do we wonder why our spouses are suddenly not the same people we fell in love with?
