Some days it just doesn’t pay to gnaw through the straps, you know?
If there’s one surefire way to ruin your day, it’s reading a distilled synopsis of all of the character flaws that led to the breakup of your marriage. I don’t recommend looking in the mirror of someone else’s pent-up bitterness as a fun way to pass a quiet afternoon.
Of course, one of those character flaws got me into today’s mess in the first place, so I have nobody to blame but myself for how lousy I’m feeling right now.
It’s awfully hard to like myself, most days. It’s even more difficult today.
(For the record: This is not a pity party. I’ll be okay in a while. I just needed to get this “down on paper,” as it were. Think of it as being not entirely unlike writing something down so you don’t forget it later.)

My Grandpa never said anything like that…
I will amend, here, that it should read something like “which of my character flaws”, but just because we both have flaws doesn’t excuse mine.
Need I remind you it takes TWO to tango? Nobody is 100% blameless, if fingers are going to be pointed.
And hey, I’ve got 2 former marriages to my name. But no way do I think that my character flaws were the main cause of why they didn’t work.
Remember what Grandpa said – for a relationship to work, you’ve got to choose the right person and you’ve got to be the right person.
