the hope-to-be-in-this-decade ex-husband

February 4, 2008 / by queenie

What a difference 1/2 a day makes.   The beauty of the day, the conviction that things will work out, went to hell in a hand-basket with a five minute conversation with the hope-to-be-in-this-decade ex.

It's amazing what a sum total of 27 years together boils down to. 

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not.  That's what kept me married for so many years, financial stability and the kids.   Staying married for the kids was the absolute worst mistake ever.  Their lives would have been so much richer and fulfilling with two separate happy households than one of indifference.

I always knew deep down he was not always trustworthy.  I just never realized how dishonest he really is.

By the time this is over, my daughter's college future will be shot - all of our money going to the lawyers.

You would think two sane, civil, intelligent human beings could act like mature adults.  What a pity and a waste.

If I didn't have a daughter to fight for, I'd pack my suitcases and walk away from everything and let him deal with his conscious and God.  But I have a young daughter whose future is at stake.  You'd think he would remember that every once in a while.

A divorced acquaintance told me to quit trying to make sense out of all of this because it never will.   There's always the hurt party and the ready to get it over with party.  I would be the latter.  I suggest the hope-to-be-in-this-decade ex-husband do the same.  Get a grip and deal with reality.
