To the Dark Side they lead
It's been a Murphy's Law kind of day. One thing after another after another. Anger, fear, aggression. Yes. Powerful are they. Oh, and dumb people in desert camoflage.
I want to clear a couple things up. Yes, Kimberly and I are getting divorced. She is not dumping me (although Gods know she has had reason to) or maliciously demanding the divorce while I am in Iraq. I am the driving force behind this. She and I are frantically trying to salvage our friendship out of this very very traumatic and stressful experience; a friendship that has stood since 1982.
Somewhere there must be written, "Couples that are divorcing are bitter and hate-filled. If you are friends with one, you have to hate the other." I can understand if you like Kimberly better than me, or vice versa. That's fine. Please, for the love of Mike, don't feel compelled to choose sides in this. . If you absolutely MUST choose sides, don't walk up (or in a couple of cases email or IM) one of us and tell us. Every time someone does this, it adds stress. I don't need it and Kimberly doesn't need it. If she doesn't hate me, why should YOU hate me? If I don't hate her, why should YOU hate her?
In saving our friendship, we are determined not to fuck each other over--so, the dates of the actual divorce filing are fluid. They depend a lot on finances, both hers and mine. Right now, we might not be divorced til the beginning of January; depends on the tax laws. But it's our business.
I am very sorry for the rant, but I just had to get that off of my chest...ain't that what blogs are for? :)
P.S. I write these blogs. Kimberly doesn't. If you don't believe me, then for fucks's sake go look at HER blogs and note the slight difference in writing styles! If you still aren't convinced, then ask me!
