He didn t exactly crawl. It was about 6 months in and he alluded to. the "future." I stopped him and said You know I dont see being married again. He was clearly sad, and I really love him, and he was only partially "responsible for our breakup (although he was 100% responsible for infidelity)

but when time's up Its up. And we have cobbledtogether a relationship Im grateful for--even though I think the woman he's with is because of inertia.

I know and he knows what he's lost. He calls me every day. I have breakfast with him on Mon. etc I asked if that woman knew

He said Yes and told her it was nonnegotiable

He will marry her. And wile the thought of it makes me want to kill her and all of his relatives who just dropped me after 48 years (and my daughter)

You asked me a simp;e question and I rambled

sorry. There is this stripe of anger and pain that extends from my hair. to my toes. It's not as wide as its been, but even though I made the right decision, I am not spared.

Are you taking submissions?
