Timing couldn't be worse...Guilt trippin today. Must be the fact that Valentine's Day can make anyone feel guilty no matter what has happened...

doogie,

I must admit, I do not know your story or why you and your W are divorcing, but let me tell you one thing...there is never a good day to be served divorce papers. For years now, one of the two of you will say, "Oh, I was served on VALENTINES DAY, can you believe that!!!??" but if it hadn't been last night, it would have been St. Patrick's Day or Easter or Mother's Day or Father's Day...

See what I mean? There is never a good time to get this kind of sad, bad news. It's kind of like hearing that you're fired. No matter HOW logical the reason may be--no matter when they tell you--it's bad news and you're not happy about it. That is just the way it is!

So, don't have an enormous guilt trip. If it had to be done, it had to be done--and no matter WHEN it is done, a marriage is crumbling and it hurts and it's sad. Okay??

CJ

The divorce papers to my first marriage were signed on Valentine's Day. The up side is that it makes the date real easy to remember when you need to. Another up side is that you always win when people have those, "You think your Valentine's Day was crummy?" conversations.

Sorry. Weak attempt at humor. That's the best I can do today. Good luck to you. She will survive.
