The Yearning, the Romance, and the Reality Part (3)
Good evening everyone,
I hope that you have had a good day/evening thus far!
A little more on reality.....
You realize that it' s reality when you are dragged to court over every detail. When you go to court, you see how much your ex has it in for you, unless, of course, it is for a legitimate reason. However, the latter is seldom the case!
When you and your ex are at odds, and clash frequently, you do not have the luxury to yearn (long) over the past, and what might have been, had you not divorced!
In my mind, and based upon my own experience, the Reality strips the Yearning from you, for, all of a sudden, you have to face that Reality. If you do not face it, and fall into the Yearning mood, you will get in trouble. Make sure to be prepared at all times, for there is no room for error in court battles!
It is very interesting that I have chosen "The Yearning, and The Reality" as a symbol for the site. In fact, to me, these two words are almost antonyms (opposites). The Yearning and the Reality express the vicissitudes of my life (checkered life)!
Definitely more on that later.......
Have a good night everybody!

Dear Loyal Readers,
Tonight, I just want to talk a little about the "Reality".
The Reality is when you realize how devious your ex spouse is!!!!!
You wonder how you ever got together with that person in first place. It is sad and deplorable that our world is fraught (filled) with such people who have no scruples!
Life does not have and should not be that difficult. It is rendered so difficult by people who have no moral values, and who do not care about the impact their actions have on others, including their own children!
This falls under Selfishness, Deviousness, and Recklessness!
Until next time, I bid you a good night!

Hello everyone,
I hope that you are having a great weekend!
Tonight, I am going to talk about nostalgia or yearning. We, as human beings, are bound to remember, at least from time to time, the good times or what I call "when things were fine"!
One of the things that I noticed is that, during the divorce, my ex and I were viewing, and most importantly, feeling matters differently. First, I have to point out the fact that my ex and I were still living together through the first part of our divorce. This was an effort on my part to try to reconcile our differences for our kids' sakes. In essence, I felt melancholic (sad), whereas my ex did not express such feelings. In fact, on several occasions, I tried to discuss such feelings with my ex, in order to elicit (bring out) the best out of my spouse to no avail.
I would evoke certain memories that we shared together, my spouse and I, and ask:"do you remember that?" "Do you think of these things sometimes?" "Doesn't it make you sad...?"
But the answers were not sentimental, they were rather abrupt in nature. My spouse was more interested in watching the rest of the TV show instead of answering my questions and engaging in a discussion that might lead to a reconciliation.....
I am sure that all of you, who have divorced, have felt at one point or another some form of melancholy over your divorce. The same is true of a boyfriend and a girlfriend who break up. Some might remember their first date at a restaurant, while others might remember a nice evening together at home...
More on the yearning and romance next time.....
Good night!
