THE WASBAND CHRONICLES


 
So the wasband came over to pick up a car he bought the kiddo for his birthday a few months ago. So I was drinking one of my fabulous mixed drinks and I offered him some. Not sure why I was being nice, could have been I needed him to go pick up an order I placed since he gets off earlier than I do, who knows….

Wasband: This drink is good

Me: Duh, I always make good drinks

Wasband: I know, wait…is there poison in this?

Me: Hmmmmm, although the thought is tempting, no…even I am not that heartless

Wasband: Why are you being nice today?

Me: ‘Cause I am grown and I don’t have the energy to be pissed off anymore.

At that moment, I realized I no longer hated this man for the 17 years of hell he put me through. I had forgiven him for it and moved on with my life. That burden of hate is too much to carry and I am so glad I let it go. My life has been amazing since our divorce and maybe one day we’ll be friends and better at this co-parenting thing, it’s important to our kids.

You Lost Me...I Found Me...

This was probably my greatest accomplishment this year...walking away completely. Our divorce was officially finalized and I was allowed true happiness. No more insults, put downs, explaining to young kids why daddy was yelling and punching holes in the wall. No more feeling I wasn't good enough, no more sleepless nights...I can finally go into a new year at peace. Looking forward to 2017. I made it!

Just another night with the wasband and I

So yesterday was the first, so that is day the wasband really can't stand me since he has to give me a check. Since our divorce our words have become less and less friendly, which is sad, since we have known each other for over 17 years. So this was last nights convo... Wasband: Have my receipt ready, I am on my way He arrives, I am writing out his receipt Wasband: When are you changing your name? Me: I'm not, the kids are still in school, so it's easier to keep it. Don't worry, you can marry her and she can take your name, it's no big deal. Wasband:  You dropped something So I look down on the ground, turn around in circles, I see nothing. Me: I don't see anything, I don't have a clue what you could be talking about. Wasband: I'm going to back up and shine the lights on it. Walk by the basketball goal, look down. Me: There is nothing there. I can't see a thing. Then the light bulb in my head went on, I see what is going on now. Wasband

Marriage is Teamwork!

One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband & wife work together as a team to build their marriage. Teammates do not compete against each other; they complement each other.   Teammates do not pull each other down; they encourage & support each other. Teammates do not fight in the opposites direction; they face the same direction & fight the same opponent together. Marriage teamwork is not about me; it's about us, we & ours. There is no greater example of teamwork than husband & wife. Hand in hand together, let every couple work together for the success of their marriage. Marriage is not a solo performance, it's a duet.
