Divorce was new, but somehow, I felt like I was still married.

“

I still can’t believe you chose me. How did I get so lucky?

Please don’t get me wrong either, I appreciate my husband and everything that he does for me, but I’m not lucky because he treats me right.

The one rule we do follow is an important vow from our wedding. Among the promises we made that day was that we would be there for each other in sickness and in health. What we didn’t know is how little time we would have between “I do” and cancer.

A year went by, and I remained his virgin wife.

My head had bumped into a grate – more so like a cage rather than just a grate. And inside the cage, in a small dirt and concrete cell, sat a woman.

It’s really important to pick your battles. Do you really want to spend all that time and energy fighting over socks? Do you really want to have a three-day silent war just because someone forgot to turn off the lights before leaving the house?

Based on my experience in marriage, these are hilariously spot on.

I’m not the same man who wrote to you two years ago.

Trust is built when we are reminded that our partner is there for us. They reach out for us or grab our hand when we reach out for them. We realize our needs matter to our partner. We forget the details about our hurt, and the negative event in the relationship slips from our mind.
