I UNDERSTAND NOW

I'M SORRY I WAS NOT ABLE TO MEET YOUR NEEDS.

I UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

I'M SORRY I DID NOT FIND THIS OUT SOONER

I KNOW WHY OUR GIRLS ARE SUCH BEAUTIFUL LITTLE PEOPLE. YOU AND I WERE ABLE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS

YOU NEEDED TO BE AT HOME WITH THE KIDS, AND I DID NOT MEET THAT NEED.

YOU NEEDED ME TO COMPLIMENT YOU. INSTEAD I CRITISIZED YOU TO CHANGE SOMETHING TO MEET MY NEEDS, THAT WAS SELFISH OF ME.

YOU WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP. AND I WANTED TO KEEP YOU AWAKE TO HAVE YOU FOR ME.
THAT WAS SELFIS.

YOU NEEDED SPACE, TIME TO DO THINGS FOR YOURSELF,BY YOURSELF, AND I WANTED TO YOU TO DO THINGS WITH ME.
THAT WAS SELFISH ON MY PART.

I WANTED YOU TO LIKE ME, THAT WAS SELFISH.
HOW COULD YOU LIKE ME IF I WAS NOT MEETING YOUR NEES.

YOU NEEDED TO FEEL SAFE.
I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE YOU FEEL SAFE.

I UNDERSTAND NOW, YOU NEEDED THIS FROM THE BEGINNING.

YOU NEEDED ME TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
AND I FAILED TO MEET YOUR NEED.

I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT PUTTING ONE'S NEEDS BEFORE YOUR SPOUSE'S IS A HURTFUL THING TO DO.

I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT IF YOU TRULY LOVE SOMEONE YOU PUT THEIR NEEDS FIRST

THE THINGS I HAVE LEARNED IN DIVORCE
I WISH I HAD KNOWN IN MARRIAGE

I GUESS YOU COULD SAY MARRIAGE IS LIKE RIDING A BIKE
ONCE YOU LEARN HOW TO RIDE, IT'S EASY.
BUT LEARNING TO RIDE CAN BE VERY HARD.
WHEN YOU FALL, IT HURTS, AND YOU FALL AGAIN IT STILL HURTS, BUT ONCE SOMEONE COMES ALONG TO HELP YOU, YOU ARE ABLE TO LEARN TO RIDE, AND RIDE VERY WELL. BUT YOU NEED SOMEONE TO COME ALONG HELP YOU LEARN TO RIDE, NOT SOMEONE TO COME ALONG AND TELL YOU THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BIKE, AND THROW AWAY THE BIKE.

I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE.....................
