Life And the Wife of the Year Award Goes to... - Page 2

**CosmicPal** · 09-16-2009, 05:46 PM

True story: So, I just got home from dining out tonight. I walk by this table with a woman in her late 30's. She's attractive, but looks very unhappy. She's sitting with her two teen boys. A few moments later, the manager of the restaurant comes over and joins them. (I had already taken seat a few feet from them). I honestly have no idea what they're talking about until their tones reach a certain tension level and I can without a doubt hear what's going on.

She tells the boys to go find another seat. There is a sadness in their faces as they sluggishly walk to another booth. They are both well-dressed and well-behaved, so I imagine they come from an upper middle-class upbringing and the father was likely laid off and had to take what he could get to support the family- like a management position at this restaurant.

Anyways, so a few moments later I hear the truth- she's leaving him. The poor guy is sitting there trying to maintain his composure. I suspect this wasn't the first time they've had this conversation, but the fact that she brought the boys into his place of work, and they actually ate a meal, and then proceed to tell her husband she's leaving just struck me as a really shitty thing to do.

So, the poor guy is heartbroken. The boys are sitting there all heartbroken to hell as well. But, what kills me is this guy has to hug his boys good-bye and then expect to go back to work as though nothing happened. He handled it like a pro- I'll give him that much. But damn, I can't believe she had the audacity to bring her children to his place of work and divorce him right there in front of his co-workers and other diners. What a b*tch.

He must have been banging her best friend and everyone knew about it but her until she caught them screwing in her famous potato salad on a picnic table at the school pep rally for the boys football team which went winless the season before.

lol, anybody who gets married in this day in age is pretty stupid if you ask me. Unless you just don't care about money or how your kids will feel after you get divorced.

C'mon, man. Not everyone that gets married gets divorced. That's a pretty dim view. In 9 days, my wife and I will be celebrating 17 years of being happily married. Sure, there are tough times. But there are plenty of great times that outweigh the bad stuff. I am glad I found her because I knew then ( and still do ) that she was the one for me.

The story looks really bad (on the surface) regarding the wife's behavior. But I think you have to realize that if you all of the details, it is possible that you could have a completely different opinion. Sometimes things aren't always as they seem from the first view.

I've been married 23 years. The last 21 have sucked. I guess thats why I spend so much time with the livestock.
