In my case, I've known my ex for almost 40 years, and we're the parents of 4 kids and the grandparents of 1, so perhaps it's no surprise that we're the best of friends, and look out for each other, although each of us has moved on from the marriage. When the time comes, we will still look out for each other, I've no doubt of that, as strange as that may sound...<BR/><BR/>Judi+emmapeelDallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045502725282481075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-71727377939680563552007-04-25T14:00:00.000-05:002007-04-25T14:00:00.000-05:00Having been through this, I know what you mean.

After the final hearing, the magistrate remarked, "She never took off her coat. That woman is really angry. That much anger is not good."<BR/><BR/>I found the entire situation so sad. No children, but they had been married many years and lived in this city far from either of their families. They were the people who knew each other best in the world, and things had ended in such a way that neither of them would ever again call the other in the event of disaster.<BR/><BR/>I would go your way, painful as it is, anytime.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-51170582910485953952007-04-24T23:40:00.000-05:002007-04-24T23:40:00.000-05:00How...sad.

Honor your feelings. You wouldn't want to be that person, I'm going to guess, who could completely detach from those feelings in such a brief interval. Whether this is your choice or not, marriage is a long habit, and like any other habit, takes a long time to undo and to replace with a new habit.<BR/><BR/>Peace (((Cynthia))).<BR/><BR/>MagsMagdalene6127https://www.blogger.com/profile/11036211735489393308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-51189772819965663092007-04-24T22:26:00.000-05:002007-04-24T22:26:00.000-05:00i get it. just your description of bandaging his ...i get it. just your description of bandaging his thumb made me feel tenderness... one wouldn't think something so simple, so little could be so intimate, but... it is.
