| Starting Over... Again |

Well, here I am about to turn 45 and I'm starting over again. What went wrong and why are relationships so difficult? Figuring out what went wrong is the easy part. Trying to determine how to prevent it from happening again? The million dollar question. Sure, at this point it doesn't really matter as papers have been served and I'm moving on whether I want to or not. But what about next time? What happens when the day comes and I want to try again?
Well, at this point "next time" is not even a thought. Sure, I've thought about what I'll do moving forward, but right now I'm all about making sure Arianna is good with things and we've got a stable environment. Not sure what we'll do about the house. Awfully tight to stay here with only one income and quite honestly, do we really need a 4 bedroom house? : ) What have I learned from this? Lots. I really screwed up this time around and it was probably the first time in my life that I wasn't able to fix things. Actually, I'm not sure that is really true, but I really screwed up this time. I never expected to be perfect, but violating her trust is just something I didn't think I'd do. I really believed I was set and in the end, I just didn't think things through and really paid the price. Now, time to pick up the pieces and start again... |
