You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

The Crash Test Dummy speaks

1 February, 2007 /

I just wrote a post and then I deleted it.

I’m going to give you some of the best advice that was ever given to me during my divorce;
“You know you know. He knows what he knows. That’s even ground. If you tell him what you know, he knows what HE knows and what YOU know. Who’s the smarter person? He is, he now knows twice as much as you do.”

Being lied to is the worst thing for me. Some people say, “I look for humor in a relationship.” I don’t. I look for honesty because there is NOTHING funny about being lied to or having someone go behind your back and hide things from you.

So, I know what I know. I’m going to keep that information to myself. I will also NEVER trust this person again.

That sucks.
