Two Steps Behind This is the (un)anniversary (once again) now the 37th, unremembered by the one who lives behind. Time out of his control. And I, just a supplier of his basic needs, as we are co-dependent still... His path two steps ~~behind my future.

It's sad, when the steps never quite mesh. But it produced an emotive write, M. |

Well it's a strange feeling to still be married but not to be celebrating anything...he just stopped in for some food from me and didn't even remember it was our anniversary...and I didn't remind him  M |

And I, just a supplier of his basic needs, as we are co-dependent ~*~ so few words, so much meaning... and too far well understood by most. |

this was a finely 'real' and emotive 'write'! I believe (including via my own experiences) that most relationships ultimately end quite 'tragically' these days... I blame the 'externalities' [the bizarre expectations and pressures of the struggle to survive the "Runaway American Dream"] more than anything else!...all of it pools and stagnates to 'ruin' individuals let alone relationships! Applause for this 'write'! |

On the very day I was curious of an update I find a poetic note! Well, you amaze me. But this, this is fabulous. Your insight is as perfect as your hindsight!  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

This is so sad, Maureen. I do remember how that feels. Even when I was living in the same house as mine, he didn't remember. |

Thanks Larry, he still lives behind me in the barn apartment loft which was for his Dad until he died almost 2 years ago...I am still working on getting that full time teaching position (waiting for grades to come back and then re-certification from the state )before I can be sure I can survive on my own without being in debt or losing what I have gained all these years...and we are cordial and even friendly which makes life smoother. We just don't live together and although we see each other often out of necessity, we "do our own things, go our own way" sighing~~ thanks for the "check-up" M |
