The heart and the head
Sometimes we come onto DS thinking our mind is the smart entity that has to talk our hearts into sense....
I sit here tonight and am more …
I left a stable marriage with an unstable head full of turmoil. I wound up in a more appropriate relationship..more relative to my state of mind. I loved my husband, but not enough. I loved the boyfriend way too much. It was unhealthy, and unhealthy is what I respond to best. It's how I was raised. I'm learning and wanting a better life everyday. The boyfriend is known as "the ex-moron". The husband is just "the ex". The ex moron drank and lied his way through most of our relationship. There were several traumatic events, including his theatrical suicide attempt after being caught in a year's worth of lying to me. All the therapy and all the retries failed, time and time and time again. He most recently put the number of a married woman he was sleeping with (on one of our downtimes) in his phone under the name of one of his buddies. She called, he announced it was his buddy, didn't take the call, acted a little weird, and I knew.... I found it, had a panic attack, and asked him to leave. As it stands currently, I feel a bit liberated, and am not feeling that addictive pull to him. This happened Nov 10, 2008. This freedom from obsessing over him has finally allowed me to grieve and give my failed marriage it's proper remorse. I am trying hard to forgive myself. I was careless with the heart of an amazing human being. This is a tough pill to swallow.

I lost Jake on 4/30/08. I am sad and miss him terribly. He and I spent 14 1/2 years together, as best friends.
Was married for 9 years, and respected and admired my husband very much. I fell short in the passion part of marriage, and only loved him as an amazing and great friend. I tried solo counseling and in the end, suggested marriage counseling, but I was already out the door in spirit. I'm here because of the pain that I must have caused, and my inablilty to forgive myself. We were good friends after the divorce until, of course, he remarried and she wanted me out of the picture.
My closest friend battles his past in Vietnam in his head and his heart. My niece is in the Middle East, and not exactly sure why. I support our troops, and honor or veterans today and every day.
My father has been in and out of assisted living homes since 1984. I am the youngest of 6 (only 4 still alive) and until recently, I have been the only one to help.
