The articles read like the last few years of my marriage. Whew. Still, I was going to stick it out, made my oaths and not going back on them, so I was cashiered.
I have baggage. Sometimes I don’t deal with it so well. My kids are grown and living far away, and I have, details omitted, no other family.
I have been dating a divorced lady for a couple of years. We lived together for a time but now are apart, friends. She had issues, I had issues and we both took a very adult approach. She is happier doing what she is doing and that makes me happier, if things get too quiet around my little abode. And I know this one was not all my fault. Neither was the other, but I find it easy to focus on my failures then.
I learned I cannot make all the things I want in this life happen. If I can’t find the best one for me, I look for the best in who I find and usually make do alright.
Lots of people are far worse off than me in so many ways, it is not right to whine too much about what I wish was different. If I am not really so happy, I am blessed abundantly.
I am going to coast for awhile, focus on a few things to do well at and enjoy. Getting remarried or a heavy relationship isn’t one of them. There is yet fun to be had.
