New and Suffering

[TeaEarlGreyHot]

"Experience" is sometimes getting something other than what you want. And that sometimes gives the illusion of having stuff figured out. At one level, I've had a long time to reflect upon where that relationship with my ex-wife failed and used that, to the extent possible, to inform myself and others about the pitfalls that may show up unexpectedly.

If the benefit of my experience is helpful, then so much the better.

As for my ex, I'm pretty sure that is and was an honest assessment that nothing I could have said or done would have made a difference (at the time). What we can say is that her life (and mine) did not quite turn out as we thought (and hoped) it might long, long ago.

I'll just leave it at that.
