It is the five year anniversary of my husband running off with some woman he worked with at his part time job. The same woman he lied to, and told his marriage was in trouble.
The same one who he had, just a year before, asked if was a man or a woman, as she took our KISS tickets at the VIP gate. He later surmised that, since most men don't usually have roses tatted on their leg, surely MUST have been woman.
The real trouble with his marriage was that he had not discussed anything about being unhappy, and wanting to move on, with his loving and devoted wife. He continued to kiss me hello and goodbye, and make love to me for four more months, all while he spun an intricate web of lies to cover his tracks. That is until the day he kissed my lips goodbye, and moved out while I was at work.
Whatever.
I am certain that, by now, his intricate web of deceit has collapsed. As the past has proven, five years is about his limit. People were starting to catch on to his stories, and question me about them. That is probably why he relocated to somewhere no one knew him.
People came out of the woodwork to tell me how much better off I would be without him, including members of his own family. How no one could believe I had settled for him and how long he was able to carry on his masquerade. I can say, my life did improve once he was gone.
He is her problem now. Thanks for taking him off my hands.
I have been able to finally heal my heart. Having always been a loner, being alone is easy for me. I will never let myself be so taken in by a good story, that I forget that I am my own best company. Anyone who I let into my life now, is there simply because I want them there.
That is why I am excited to report that things have come full circle. But that is a story for another day.
Now here is a little ditty that I came across five years ago. It fit the situation back then so perfectly.
And it's funny, so I will leave it here for you now.
