So I’ve been thinking. There is this couple that I know. They were married for a long time I guess, not sure how long, but long enough. Then after the kids were all grown they decided that they weren’t “in love” anymore and got a divorce. But they remained good friends. They do things together and so forth.
I wonder if this is what Brian seems to think life will be like after divorce? That somehow I will be okay just being “friends”. I don’t think it will be like that. I think it will be more of a mutual respect but that’s it. You know we’ll go to mutual events for Kaylee, that kind of thing, and that’s about all the interaction we will have. I don’t see it being any other way.
I mean if we did the “best friends” deal I’ll just feel used like I feel now. I am pissed because I took our marriage quite seriously and apparently he didn’t take it as seriously as I. It’s not to say he’s a bad person or anything. It’s just that had I known that this wasn’t something he deemed as a long term commitment then I probably wouldn’t have married him. I was good enough until times got complicated and things got stressful and then I became too much to want to deal with apparently.
I was given no chance to change things but I don’t think there was away way to fix it in the first place. So it is what it is. And no matter how angry this all makes me, I’ll keep trucking on and putting on a happy face for Kaylee because she has no idea what’s going on at all. And the point is that she never will hear a bad thing about her Daddy, no matter what. Because she loves the hell out of him.
