Some of us do "men's" work and some of us do "women's" work and it doesn't really matter!

Here's a funny story (I think) I've had three sewing machines since I first got married. My ex son-in-law got my first one, my son got my second and my third I bought and one day my ex came home and saw it and said: "Where did this come from?". I said: "I bought it, I needed an upgrade". He didn't say anything after that because for years, and ( Read more... )

Wow! You make me tired reading all you did - and do. No wonder he was mad! It's an interesting perspective, though - one that I would probably not see, even if I did do all you did. I'm sure he didn't see it that way, however, because he was blind to it. His loss - one that he probably didn't notice until you were gone.

I'm sorry he treated you so badly when you got breast cancer. It separates the "men from the boys" in the way they care for their wife (or husband -- works both ways!) when there is sickness.

Hopefully after all of that you too yourself on a well deserved and needed vacation and had other people take care of you.

Actually, I did manage to have a vacation after that. I got married to a wonderful man five years after I left the ex and the following year went to Spain for the wedding of my best friends' daughter. Everyday w/o the ex is a vacation. And, this new husband, wackdaddy takes much better care of me. And, I love taking care of him too. By the way, I tried to friend you, but it didn't happen. If I'm too ancient for you, I won't take it to heart. :)

Aw, that all sounds so sweet.
And I agree about the ex, every day without my ex-husband is a vacation, lol.
It says we are already mutual friends :-)

Wow! You sure did a lot of stuff! I can't mow either, because of asthma. He should not have treated you that way. You're a great lady! *hugs*

Thanks so much. You don't really know me, but I agree. :)

I don't want to malign even my ex. . . what's the point. I'm just so happy to not be married to him any longer. It's funny because he used to say I didn't respect him and looking back, even though I didn't disrespect him. . . I didn't and don't respect him either. John on the other hand, commands respect. :)
