What I did

I am never really sure how to approach this one. I've started this post about three times - it never seems to head where I would expect, so maybe a list is better.

I will not spend my life complaining about my ex. Though I will admit that there are issues I had hoped to escape - issues that I had always wished some arbitrary judge would walk into my kitchen and resolve. He is still the master at evading responsibility. Other than that - I'm not going to vent right now.

I will however, take responsibility for what I did.


I asked for marriage counseling.
I asked for a divorce.
I got no answer to either.
I met the professor in Chicago.
I kissed a man that I was not married to.
I planned my escape.
And I was happy when it finally happened.
I had a baby with a man who I was not married to.
I was happy when that happened too.
I am marrying him the minute a judge says I can.


Maybe that makes me a bad person.
But at least I can be honest about it.
