Last night I found a box of family photos - mostly from the mid to late 90s. Lots of great photos of the kids - several with ex in them - right up to Ashley's grade 8 grad - about 9 months after we split. I actually look fabulous in that pic of all of us - had lost 40 lbs like most of us in the Heartbreak diet. But I notice a common theme throughout. He looks miserable. In nearly every pic. Christmas - he sits gripping in the chair after I had done 99% of the work to make the holiday wonderful. At charity events - he is dressed up but looks like he would rather be somewhere else while I am half running the event, giving speeches etc.
So - here's the difference between then & now. Even if Josh is not involved in my event - like the recent Lions Convention we attended together. He is a great sport about it. He never grumps. He totally helps. He is always in a good mood. (Well 99% of the time).
I can't help wondering how I stayed with that man for 30 years. He was a total Debbie Downer!
