You could try - reading it backwards, that is.
Your reality certainly did take the shape of a country song (dog and all!)

Probably, he is livid with jealousy. I can just feeeeeel it! hahaha
Yeah, I'm a softy but it is like this. Between me and any other person.... if someone is gonna be hurt, it isn't gonna be me doing the hurting. If they can live with hurting me, then that is their problem and their loss. I have to live with my own conscience and I never give up a relationship til I know I did everything I could to salvage it! O.K. I'm gonna say goodnight here and at Ypun's place before I collapse. Good night, sweet dreams, angels are guarding you tonight.

#3 and I were like that. I think I cared for her more than loved her.
Wanted to help raise her kids, but damn, she was mad allllll the time. About any little thing! I don't miss her much. Notice no poems there or about #1! hahaha Only #2 and current #4! God, I'm pathetic aren't I?

I know! It is hard to let go.
you never stop loving people even if they are not with you. but ex-hubby and I are like strangers, if it happened in another life. I still care but it is not the same anymore.

I wasn't forgiving. I do things for people I love, usually regardless of
what they do to me. I have learned to put a limit on how much I let people use me though. And remember, just because we got divorced, I didn't stop loving them. My whole life is weird!

What can I say? what are they doing to you? and what are you doing to them?
I am not judging, it is a very unusual situation. I have had to cut one guy out of my life, and there was no turning back. They only got one chance. They blew it, and that was it. I am not as forgiving as you are.

You are absolutely right. Jeremy and Joshua are exact replicas of me.
We bend over backwards for those we love and it just seems to make it easier for them to kick us in the teeth. But the boys have learned from my example to bail out a little quicker than the old man! When Becky left me, I helped her financially for about six months til I found out about the other guy. Strangest thing, except for my first wife, wives number 2,3,4 all still dated me after our divorce/separations. All three told me they loved me as we walked out of the courtrooms! See what a charmed life I lead!?

well,
I kicked my dear husband out of the house, but he was fair and it was 50/50. He has always been fair and honorable in many ways. We just could not get on. My temper and his! Sparks everywhere!

A little history. Becky (Rebecca) and I were engaged out of high school.
Dated for about 2-1/2 years. I loved that girl like there was no tomorrow! Then all of a sudden there was no tomorrow. Got a five page letter and went out on the highway and put my bike through a guardrail. Almost lost my left leg. It is still messed up a little. I never stopped loving her. Well twenty years go by and I finally divorce my boys mother, thank God. Before I get foolish, I look for and find Becky. She is divorced, has two boys same age and temperaments as my two. She still loved me and we married. Boys got along great. First year was the happiest of my life. Second was the worst. She spent all my money, then left me....again after bankruptcy. With the guy I had been helping work on our house. In the last five years, she has done that to at least three other guys that I know, so yeah, I'm better off without her but it didn't feel any better to lose her a second time. There, now I'm vulnerable!

moving and superbly put, pity it had to be true,
well, break ups are never pleasant, I should know like many others before and after. Sad to say, it is so common, it does not help to say it I know. I prefer not to go there, the past I leave there for now. Enough said.
