I was working at a customers house last Saturday for approx. 5 hrs. The H hung around a lot and we just did the basic talk thing. Then I told him how he and his W reminded me of that great Dodge commercial, where the H is suppose to buy a antique table and comes home with a motorcycle and the W playfully punches him in the stomach. They were playful like that. Then the H starts telling me how this is their second marriage to each other. He said they were divorced for 8 months and then got back together. Before the D, he went through all the heartache, tears, depression thing. His W accused of things he didn't do, said he wasn't mentally stable cause she saw how sad he got about the divorce.
They had 4 children, from young to teenage age.
He said that after the divorce, he G.A.L., his w saw how great his life had become and she found much attraction to him again and became intrigued. So much of it sounded like the principles given here. Before he was trying to help with everything and buying lots of things for her, he said something like he slowed way down after the D. They renewed their vows 8 months later.
Something that I found interesting was that he said his W also had a really rough childhood and that his wife put up walls and he believes that she couldn't handle a man that was truly good to her and loved her that much. He thinks that they will reject those who are truly great to them and feel like they don't deserve it. Of Coarse, this is just one of the reasons their marriage had trouble, but he thinks it played a role.
He was a great guy who ended by telling me that maybe it was meant that he told me his story.
