Somebody’s post made me think about this today. Now I ain’t to good ‘bout puttin’ my thoughts into fluid words but bear with me.
When I found out about my wife wanting a divorce and then began to discover her secret life, I swear to goodness ½ of my brain went into hiding. It was the ½ of my brain that contained all the negatives in our relationship so I could only see and yearn for all the positives. Not only that all the positives were magnified 10x. Thus sending me on a quest to save the mythical marriage I never had. And like so many of you fine folks; I fought tooth and nail trying not to loose a relationship that in reality never should have been found.
Now with the advantage of time I’m able to “play the tape all the way through”. Because I do think that sometimes when we are thrust into these situations we go into a state of fog that temporarily re-writes history. We see all the good. We quest to save. Then at some point it we become so focused on the quest that we truly forget about the marriage. We only play the portion of the tape that makes us feel good, when in reality if we play the tape all the way through to the end we’ll see the entire picture. We’ll see the bad times and have the ability to put them in perspective with the good. When all is said and done will you be chasing a dream and what happens if you catch it?
