In another blog I wrote about my life, from high school, college, and my first job out of school, teaching in the DoD school system in Germany (hey see the world right?) It was there i met my first husband, and we had a good time together, blah blah blah. It was 30 years ago this month that I caught him making arrangements to go on vacation with another woman, and left him. We tried to reconcile a few moneys later, but like a bad movie cliche, all we had good together was sex...our views on the rest of the universe were so different. Then shortly thereafter I got my American Express bill for a trip for two to Club Med in Cancun...where I have never been! I called and found my soon to be ex had used the Card to prepay while we were in "reconciliation" . I was told that even if I cancelled the card, i still owed the money since it was my account...ARRRRRRGGGGGH. I called the a>>hole and said as soon as things could be final, that was the last i ever wanted to hear from ...well you know. I remember burning pictures in a fireplace and thinking how happy I felt doing it...sick i know...
I tend to carry a grudge and was angry about this for say...oh...20 years!!!! Then a friend at work said something i knew already, just needed to hear..."That was then, you are in a wonderful marriage now, let it go..." So I have moved on. Which is a good thing because...
This is one of my favorite songs, and it took really intense meaning for me in March 1979
nobody cares about the troubles I've seen,
