Fall was the color of my wedding and the turn of the marriage High school sweethearts young and dumb Filling shoes to big for our britches We danced as grownups when the babies came and walked in the dark of cursed crutches to cope our lacking. Twenty years seemed like an achievement Until the dawning of an idea anyone can stay married just don't divorce feeling stupid when others ask you how you've stayed married so long.... Ignoring the infidelity drinking and drugs and the insidious way everything was always my fault LGR(C)10/15/20 |

Oh, this is the plight of many marriages, Lori. Why stay together? Different reasons, "the children" being only one. Not fully admitting that horrible mistakes were made, but not knowing exactly how to resolve, it, so grin and bear it seems to be the way many choose to live out their lives. ~* The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.--William Blake ~*~ |

Then one day you wake up and smell the coffee and there is no going back to sleep. Lori |

"Ignoring the infidelity drinking and drugs and the insidious way everything was always my fault" Isn't it amazing the way we see things when we are so young, and the clarity of the stupid things we did, after a few years of growing up. Enjoyed the read, and memories. JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

I still shake my head in disbelief and that was 15 yrs ago. My 2nd husband was worse... but that's another poem. Lori |
