It's funny... my xH and I are on decent terms now, and co-parent pretty well. As you know I just moved, and he did, as well (SAME WEEK! Poor kids!) Well, one of my boys realized that two couch sets would be better off exchanged, due to the way the homes are set up. xH and I agreed that we would exchange them. He was here on Monday, w/a few other helpers, in my new house, moving the couches.
I had a hard time reconciling this man before me. 15 years of marriage, and I don't even know him at all anymore.
It's sad that something, with that kind of root, can denigrate to where we are now. MANY MANY times this man looked like a stranger to me, while lying in our marital bed, too.
How does that happen?
I sure know now where are a lot of the mistakes were, and have tuned my "picker". And, I've done the work to enjoy myself so much more now.
But, UGH, what a set of memories you just stirred up!
Oh, and if you don't know the steps to the dance, do what I do... HEAD SPINS!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
