Are you appreciative enough?
The Ex Files
The other day on The Today Show, an author had written a book about how a lot of marriages break up because the wife just doesn't appreciate her husband enough.
You know, there he is, doing his best and the wife just doesn't eat it up with a spoon.
And it occurred to me that maybe that's what happened to me. So I'd like to take this opportunity to recognize just how much I didn't appreciate my EX.
I didn't appreciate his lack of ambition. His snoring. His vacant stare.
I didn't appreciate always having to bail him out. Or his immaturity.
I didn't appreciate having to work so hard because he wouldn't. Or being married and feeling so lonely.
Or giving him an orgasm and never getting one in return.
Or how he caused our daughter so much emotional distress.
Or being dumped for a woman who wasn't even interested in him.
Or thinking deep down he was a good guy and the destruction of our marriage was all my fault.
Nope. I didn't appreciate him at all.
And I never will.
