I sensed something was up during football season but didn't want to ask you because I couldn't ask without prying and I really didn't want to do that. I figured if there was anything you wanted us to know, you'd tell us. But you've dropped a few breadcrumbs along the way so.... although I'm not shocked at the news... I feel for you and what you're going through. You're a good dude, one of my favorite Herdsters over the years and I don't like ANYthing awful happening to any of you.
I divorced my first husband after 14 years and it was one of the best things I ever did. I was single 7 1/2 years before I married RAMbeau and that, too, was one of the best things I ever did. Life's too short to live with someone who doesn't want to be be with you, who brings you down, is a constant embarrassment, is emotionally immature, sucks you dry financially, is a taker and not a giver, or who doesn't value you. It hurts. And it's gonna hurt for a while. But remember: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Sending you hugs!
