ENOUGH? I'll admit, I broke a lot of hearts. I was NEVER a one woman man. One day it hit me. I was ready to build my legacy. I couldn't do it alone. I had to choose a wife. There were plenty who claimed they could. There was only ONE other I considered. I knew SHE would never give up everything. And that's how I wanted it. I decided to give HER the ring. I thought she'd help me to be a better man. I thought I wanted a woman whose life revolved around mine. I thought I would be happier. I THINK I made the wrong decision.
After 10 years of marriage, we could have been characters on a reality show. With my successful career and her building our legacy, we were the definition of a POWER couple. I never had any regrets. She was exactly what I wanted. A woman who would MANAGE our family. Every couple has their problems. We were know different. We both had extensive pasts. I never lied to her. She knew about them ALL. I figured it would make her feel more secure. I chose YOU. When I came home one night, she seemed to have an attitude. I finally asked her. It led into the craziest argument. She had found an email from an ex. She demanded to know why we were still in touch. I couldn't believe how angry she was. The email was a simple exchange about the holidays. It was nothing. I told her that she needed to calm down. I started to walk away. She threw something at my head. I told her I was leaving. She followed me to my car. I told her to go back in the house. She was embarrassing herself. I started my car. She grabbed a golf club and broke my window. I thought I had done right this time. She was suppose to be that woman who knew exactly what I wanted. I'm starting to wonder about my marriage. All of this over an email? I never underestimated my wife. She does know me best. Maybe she knows too much? Maybe she knows that I married the woman I CHOSE but I didn't marry the woman I LOVED. Still Not Sure
Tiger?
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous.... What do you mean by Tiger?
ReplyDelete@Pam - her grabbing the golf and hitting the car with it - this happened with Tiger Wood's wife. I think that is what Anon is referencing.
ReplyDelete@You Have the Ring - I'm not sure how to respond to this matter. I feel like we've been given part of a bigger issue or story. How long did you know her? What was in the email that set her off? And were their other emails before this one?

ReplyDelete"Maybe she knows that I married the woman I CHOSE but I didn't marry the woman I LOVED." OF COURSE SHE KNOWS! He lists the qualities in a woman he chose to create HIS legacy. Clearly his wife is highly intelligent to meet the needs of his imagined life. But this egoist doesn't mention what his wife wanted. It was probably simple -- his heart.
