We began dating in Fall of 2001 and our 1st kiss was December 5th 2001.
We got engaged in March 2002 at Disney World in front of the castle.
She became pregnant on her birthday on May 19th 2001.
She moved in with me in June 2002.
Son born February 2003.
We were both in AA and had gotten to know each other after meetings at restaurants along with her mother who was also in AA, for the previous 6 months.
December 2004 we bought a new House/Home in a very nice neighborhood.
I was self employed as a contractor and scaled down my business when Little Eddie started Pre-School so i could take him to school every day and still do now that he started 4th Grade.
I always took and did equal responsibility from changing diapers to anything else to help out in his child care.
2008 she stopped going to AA meetings at the beginning of the year.
Throughout the 1st 7-8 years together we Never had an argument which in hindsight i now know was a problem, because she either stuffed the problems internally or discussed them with her mom instead of dealing with them directly with me. Her mom would soothe her down and tell her that i might have meant something else than what she had presumed.
All of her journal writings and cards to me for this 2001 through beginning of 2008 stated how i made her feel more loved and adored than by anyone else in her entire life and that she had more than she could have ever asked, dreamed or prayed for and that i was her soulmate.
By the way, i was 43 and she was 25 when we 1st met.
Right after Thanksgiving of 2008, her mom was hospitalized and remained there till February 7th when she passed away. One week earlier, they had her go home for a day because they thought she would be released shortly.
My wife lived at the hospital at her bedside the entire duration and was broke down physically and emotionally. Her mom was in a medically induced coma for a long time while there.
I took care of our son and asked if i should be at the hospital more often with
I asked her if she wanted me to be at the hospital more with my wife, but she insisted that she just wanted to be alone their. My Big Mistake!!!
On way home from Labor Day 3 day trip to my parents, she upsets me with repeated comments about referring me to use a particular mechanic, but forewarns me that he and her used to drink together and she would often wake up in bed with him and say, Oh Chit, i did it again. This theme was repeated over 6 times and was really pizzing me off. Whats the purpose of repeating this to me?
Now to Labor Day weekend 2009. Our 1st argument. She points out she is not happy in the marriage. She points out that I dropped her on the face of the earth when her mom was sick and after she died. She also points out some of my poor characteristics of how i dealt with things around the house and says that i dont do enough to help out at home.
I am completely perplexed, but proclaim that someday we will both look back at this day and say it was the best thing to happen in our marriage, because now i finally know what she expects of me.
3 weeks go by and i am doing alot of extra things daily but i discover a spiral notebook on the kitchen table containing love poems an letters between her and an ex-boyfriend fforrom when she was 17 years old who happened to be the 1st guy she had sex with. They were talking about how they soon would be married and i discovered internet browser links searching for a 3 bedroom apartment in the area where he lived.
Another thing, when her mom seemed like she could come home, i agreed that she could live with us and i would clean out our dining room and make it into a bedroom for her. Also, after her mom died, i had her younger sister move into our home with no expenses required.
Also, after my wifes moms wake, she reacquainted herself with old high school friends anf at least once per month she stayed out till 1:00 the next afternoon. I didnt like it but she was grieving severely so i accepted it without complaint and always took care of our son when she wss gone.
I discovered that she had been texting that guy over 4,000 times per month since January 2009.
When i asked her when she got home at 1:00 in the afternoon if she would stop beibg in touch with that guy so we can see about working on our marriage, she said, I dont think i can do that. It wouldn't be fair to him. WTF??? Months later i found something she wrote about him..... Ah, finally. Harmonious Love At Last. Then on December 5th 2009, i discover texts betwern her and anothrr guy that she was going to meet when she was supposed to pick up her sister from work. This guy was a long time group friend and her Best Friends on again off again boyfriend. She texted that she just needed to be in his arms tonight, because he is the only guy for her.
I need a break. I am tired of typing on my cell phone. I will fill in the rest later today, so please be patient.
God Bless
