    My Very Worst Week

    By Ripper on Sat, 05/17/2008 - 3:30am |
    It has been one week since my wife of nearly six years — my best friend and partner of nearly 14 years — left me for another man. She phoned and informed me she would not be returning from work because she had fallen for a guy on the bus over the past few months. Meeting with her in a restaurant a few days later, I persuaded her to reverse her decision. Alas, she went back to the scoundrel again yesterday, saying I had done everything I could, she just doesn't love me anymore. I am handling her surprise with as much graceful acceptance of her decision as possible and trying to craft an emergency plan for my very changed life.

    Apologies for this off-topic post. I will return to good form soon; count on it. Until then, any kind thoughts dropped through the slot below will be enormously appreciated.
