My ex never allowed me to get a bike. Always talked about how dangerous it was. How I was stupid for riding one when I was a teenager (I don’t disagree there and it’s a flat out act of god that I’m alive)….so when I got one, it caught her attention and she knew I was moving on and boy she scratched and clawed when that happened. You know a few weeks ago she told me she thought I was having a mid life crisis when I got one. Yep at 37 after everything I was going through it must have been a mid life crisis. But that wasn’t the point. I did something for myself that was out of character that I loved and it got her attention so much so she explained it away as if I was in crisis.
Oh this is great. Makes my head spin. In my dreams I’d book a trip just for myself, to someplace I’ve long wanted to go to but she doesn’t, and say, “Remember how I’ve always said I wanted to go to XXXX? Well, my flight’s booked, I’m leaving on [date]. See ya!”
Not the most practical thing right now, but I’m definitely going to think about other desires along these lines.

One of my favorite areas to visit. This was on our short list of possible retirement locations in better times.
