Vriendelik Groete Guy's,
Feel for you Wart and I feel for you too BadNav. My Wife and I have been together for 36years after meeting on a blind date and nobody stays together for that long under calm seas. The trick is to weather the storms that life throws at you both but to do that, both have to want to. We married six weeks after our first date and you can all think what you want, hah!! You couldn't find two people more incompatible but we are still together after many storms. Why do people part? Fcuk'ed if I know but it's usually over money. Husband works and earns a lot and she wants it. Wife earns more than the Husband, she earns a lot and he wants it. Then the justifying rubbish starts and both genders do it. "I don't love you anymore". "I need to branch out and see the world". "I need to do more with my life". "I feel that your holding me back". Absolute shite. One thing a human being is very good at. Never telling another the real reason a problem exists so you never know why and blame yourself for something you don't understand. Drives you nut's and it's meant to. It's human nature.
Solutions and options: Say nothing to antagonise another, it achieves sod all. Face the worst possible scenario and if you can do that, there is nothing your ex partner can do to hurt you more. Lose half of what you have, fine. You still have half of what you had and the time to go and make up what you lost. Bitterness, anger, resentment, nah - forget it. It will achieve nothing except to eat away at you. You now have your life back to probably go and make the same mistakes you made before, just have fun doing what you enjoy in the meantime.
Like I said. I feel for you guys I really do and I also have sympathy for your partners. It is never good when it goes bad and I have seen it happen to so many in my 61 summers. Life is a book with an unknown number of chapters. Some are good some not so good. Turn the next page and suddenly your enjoying a great chapter. Wart, BadNav. Re-reading the above makes me think "Shall I delete and say nothing"? I am tempted too I must admit, because this is really no business of mine. Arms folded, staring at screen trying to decide.
It stays and I will submit even though I may be wrong in my decision. However what I have written is received by you or others, the intentions were honourable.
Alles van die beste. Live well and Long
