This will be written really poorly because I am just going to write what comes to me. Please try to follow along…
Two years ago today I got married. It was a really great wedding. Everyone who attended commented that it was one of the best weddings that they have ever been to. I mean, the food was amazing. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. The venue was outstanding. Weather was perfect. I even think I saw a dove fly by as we were standing underneath the flower laden archway professing our undying love for one another. One problem… I dont think either of us wanted to be there…. I look back on that day and I cannot imagine why I went through with it.
Let’s just get some things out of the way. My ex wife is not a bad person. She is just a really bad person for me. Our relationship was so bad, in so many ways, that it is unfathomable to me as to how we ever ended up getting married. We fought about everything. We were mean to eachother. We had different views on sex. We didnt even really enjoy eachothers company. I had an affair with a married client of mine. I think that she cheated on me also, but have never asked. We bought a dog together and he made it bearable for us to be around eachother but then we fought about how to train him. It was bad…
It is amazing that when I look back on our 3 years together (we were only married for a year), I cannot really remember ever being happy. I cant remember the day I proposed to her. I cant remember any really great vacations. I cant remember just laying in bed and talking for hours. And, worst of all, the only thing I remember about our wedding is me being mean to her and making her cry. I do remember constantly trying to make her be something she wasnt. I remember being mean to her and her being mean to me. I remember having major fights but I dont remember what we fought about. I remember wondering why I was with her when I didnt even really like her (she didnt like me either). I remember feeling the need to impress her all the time. The need to impress her was the worst thing because it made me feel like nothing was good enough and I lied to her. Those of you that know me now know that I dont lie. I call it how I see it and I am brutally honest. With her, I wasnt. With her, I was a bad person. I wasnt just a bad person… I was horrible. That makes me sad…. I was such a bad boyfriend that I think maybe I got married so I could redeem myself as a great husband. I failed miserably at that….
So, in closing… What the hell was I thinking? I married someone that I knew would never make me happy. I have grown so much in the past 2 years that I am content for the first time in what I am and where I am. I am generally happy in my life and content with every facet. I am comfortable with being single but I would love to meet someone that I think is amazing. Amazing people are hard to come by. One girl came into my life and she was amazing, except that there are some circumstances that I dont know that we will ever be able to get past. I want to miss someone. I want to be excited to see someone. I want to look forward to planned vacations and be amazed when we plan a spontaneous trip that works out perfectly. I want to be so attracted to someone that the mere smell of them makes my heartbeat change. I want someone with perfect brown hair that I get to run my fingers through as she sleeps on my chest. I want beautfiul brown eyes that sparkle when I make her laugh. I want an athlete, because only an athlete can understand an athlete. I want someone that is open minded but has her own opinions. I want someone that is passionate about life. I want to curl up for an afternoon nap and not care about anything else in the world. I want a first kiss that will last a lifetime…. Does this person exist???
