I've done the single parent thing, as Judi put it for 14yrs.
Yes it can be done. But it's one thing to do it for two weeks or 6months, it's quite something else to do it, day in day out, week in, week out, month in, month out, year upon year and you know what, I'd still rather have had those years with all the struggles, than spend one moment of them with the wrong partner.
I say AMEN to Lia's comment. I would rather be happily married than happily single. But happily single has a lot of lovely side-benefits of double, stress-free relaxation and freedom. The pits of the universe is being miserably married to the wrong partner who makes every day a tense, angst-ridden exercise in fearful insecurity and wretched helpless despair!
When is he going to China?? And why is he going to China? Speaking of China, if I had a chance to go there a few things I'd want to buy- CD's and such.
Oh---I sometimes think that it would be nice to have mine gone more often---especially when he sulks around the house now that he got laid off.....sigh.
Mine has been traveling a lot lately too. He is, as we speak packing his bag for another trip. I miss him when he is gone. I guess we are both lucky that we have great partners.
If you don't know me, here's your fill of Arianne trivia: I'm from Detroit. I love baked goods, 80's new wave, sleeping, dancing, trees, growing green things, traveling, trivia games, pasta, sushi, Wes Anderson movies, dancing, sleeping, reading the classics, learning languages, old musicals, and NOT doing math. I hate following trends; I enjoy being original. I have three kids and one husband. Big Daddy (the husband), is awesome. He makes me laugh constantly and could be nominated for Father Of the Year every day. He has sexy legs and confidently wears pink and purple. Not together. Daphne is 9 1/2. She is artistic, curious, loves animal toys with very large eyes, and prefers an all sugar diet or nothing at all. Beck is 8. He is a sweet, gentle boy. He is super smart and very musical. He speaks Chinese, loves Michael Jackson, and can read like a 5th grader. Pippa, our baby, is 3 1/2. She is the happiest, friendliest, sweetest child ever. She loves snuggles and saying surprisingly grown up things. Most importantly, she doesn't have brown eyes! We also have two cats, Cleopatra and Margot, who regularly forget that they can't walk across the pond. And that about sums us up.
Om is the sound of the universe: Heaven, earth, hell and silence all in one word. It represents the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence of God. Om is a syllable of meditation and grounding. It is also a tattoo on my lower back.
