I heard from a friend that grew up in NJ, to forget you know how to fill your car up when I ever bet a chance to visit her, it is illegal to fill up your own car there This is news to a person whom lives in a state where full service has for all extents and purposes disappeared.
Here in Ohio, there is a sign about the size of a 3x5 saying if you need assistance press this button. After one of my surgeries, I was heading in to have stitches removed, pressed button then found out it activated an AUDIO inside and the clerk was asking what I needed. Being Deaf I did not know that. Just after about 15 mins I crept in holding my abdomen then found out- no one offered to come out and fill my tank for me.
Also, he agreed to the possibility this would happen. He is the rude one not you. He is the onme that lost out- you got lucky and found out what he was about.
Laura, we all have much to learn from you too, Sweetie, and from each other.
I understand what you mean. For me, it was a choice I could make out of gratitude for her being willing to share that with me, even though it hurt.
She could have never told me. But tell me she did.
It must have hurt her to know that he never stopped loving me. I hurt for her when she told me that as, I did when he asked me to take him back. It also must have hurt him to know that he still loved me and had thrown what we had away. . .I had no wish to do to her what they had done to me.
It is something that only we can decide if and when it is right to reach out a hand in both Forgiveness and Friendship.
Also, it was his fueral, I think he was there and grateful for the two of us offfering both comfort and the truth to each other.
Our best friend, one of John's former rommies said he had never been able to imagine John as an old man the whole time he had kown him.
Whereas His wife, whom came into the picture after John and I were married and became my best friend, said that she had been able to do so and b/c of his Drug/Alcohol problems and the way he tried to come back to me, said that she always felt if John had lived there would have been 5 to 7 ex-wives at his funeral and that he would have always been looking for me in every one of them, b/c He told them the same thing, word for word that his wife told me.
Looks like my Aunt was right. . .poor John.
But even more so, perhaps it was a Blessing in disguise b/c His Little Baby Girl could grow up w/o that knowledge.
When My Late Ex died. I went to his funeral, with the Blessings of my former In-Laws. I met his current wife. I was shocked at how much like me she looked, we could have been sisters!
She told me She wanted me to know that John had never stopped Loving me. It was just that our Infertility together was not something he felt he could handle, as he wanted a family. She saiod it was our infertility that really made him use drugs and alcohol. They also had three miscarriages, before they got their Daughter.
She also knew that he had asked me if I would take him back ~ 3 months before He died and she knew that I ahad said No, he had a child and he needed to exhaust all options with her Mother to make it first.
She thanked me for that and appologised for having hurt me by being the other woman and taking him away from me.
I was grateful to hear everything she told me and I thanked her for it and for letting me come to his Funeral. I also told her I was glad she had been able to give him something I had not been able to do, But I was sorry that their little Girl would be grrowing up with out her wonderful Dad.
It hurt, yes . . . But it also helped.
My aunt told me later when I told her that His new wife looked so much like me that she could have been my sister more than my own sisters do, and how shocked I was, Said that she was not surprised b/c people often want and look for what they already have.
Personally, if the chest is ALL that is bared, either on a beach or b/c it is summer and he's outside, I don't have a problem. The ones that set me back are the total nudies or the ones with the shirts opened to mid belly, ugh!
