Blog (wife) Number One Part Duo
So I have been left alone in the apartment we shared, our first home, our daily love nest......I was crazy trying to figure out what was going on, what is she doing and why.
Its true her hormones were going crazy, more than we could know at the time, and her behavior was very different and mean spirited compared to the sweet person I married. I was lost, alone and scared. I could not sleep, did not eat, I was so nervous. I paced the little apartment and never did go to bed for the first ten days, I went to work every day in an attempt to function and pass the time, no sleep, I was a zombie.
Finally my two weeks were up and I got a call from her, after trying to talk to her every day during my nightmare, she was cold as ice, "meet me on Wednesday at 10:00 AM at the "-------club downtown to talk. That was three more days before I could meet her, see her, talk to the woman I love, the woman that held my heart and soul, she was as much a part of me as my right arm. The day finally came after an eternity of soul searching and agony over what might be, what had I done to deserve such treatment from the person claiming to love me?
I entered the club and found my love sitting on a poofy, plush sofa surrounded by tables and chairs, I ran to her to sit by her, to touch her, to smell her, but no she insisted I sit across from her in a chair, she would not allow me to get close to her. I died a little more inside and my chest was tight.....she pulled a file from a case under the table and said, I want a divorce, and here are the property settlement agreements for your signature.
I was allowed to read them and we did not have a lot of assets considering I had just graduated from the University of Maryland. I agreed to keep my car, old but ran well, and she got the new car, the furniture and most of all we had. There would be no alimony and we had no children and I was informed that she would be over for the furniture in a week and that we were done after I signed the papers.....
I never saw her again after that day in 1977...I lost a family in her parents and siblings, I nearly lost my life.
While in my deepest despair my parents (each one) placed me in the middle of their divorce.....
