"So... Tell Me..."

I've been thinking about writing about when the "wheels came off" of my Life...  Did it happen the first time my then Wife got angry at me... because I was asking her about why she called our son, "stupid" and made him cry?  Or did it happen when she decided to pack her bags and leave that weekend... for an extended weekend...???

Or did it happen when I got the phone call that my Dad had just died... and when I told her about Dad's passing, she just sat at her desk writing... never looked up... and said..., "that's too
                                        bad..."???

Or maybe it was that the last four-plus years that we were married... were sexless... no sex... no kissing... no hugging... no touching... no nothing...  I was made to feel... "nasty" for wanting sex...


Or did it happen... when after my Dad had died... that I learned that my oldest sister had stolen over $400,000 from Dad's estate???

That could have been the impetus for everything going amuck...

But something had to happen first... maybe she and I grew apart...


This many years after the fact, I still dissect this... trying to see what all went wrong... maybe it doesn't matter any more...

Does it matter if I know "when" it all started to happen?   Does it matter that within a year, My Dad dies and we file for divorce??

I'm sure I have some exams that need to be graded...

  1. It is unimaginable to me that a married couple can live a touchless, and sexless life for so long. The tension and fake cordiality must have been unbearable most of the time for both of you. Hopefully this part of your life can be much more fun-filled and you can find love.

  2. But... that part is such a small part of it all... there is so much more... the entire story is so overwhelming... I think that is where my problem with relationships comes from... maybe an inability on my part to trust that someone would/ could really love me... and me always waiting for that next shoe to drop...

  3. Dude my ex-wife's dad died, 30 days later she is looking up old boyfriends online. 45 days later she is filing for divorce (on my birthday).

    Sex life was pretty normal before the filing too. I am glad she did now. Sorry for the kids but glad for me.

  5. Oh honey.
    Wow.
    I don't know what's the trigger and what's the consequence...sometimes it seems so random when things happen and any attempt to connect them is futile.

  6. Hi there, Jen... yeah... I don't know either... yeah... you are right about the futility issue... maybe it doesn't matter... but that's one year I would not want to relive...
