Ayingel 24 Posted August 17, 2007 Okay, so, my dad and i had hospital visits today. i was not happy to find out why he was going. i'm not sure if he's know for the past three months or not...but he's had a cancer spot on his forehead. not sure if it's skin cancer or what, but i just wish i had known. i guess it explains why he was so stressed before i moved out if he did know. not only that, but he had a cyst removed today as well. he's had that for awhile tho..so, i dunno...

Uncle Du 22 Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Yikes, hope everything turns out OK! I know how painful a cyst removal is too. *shudders* And, on my personal front, if you have not heard, my wife Christina and I are getting divorced. Basically what it boils down to is, she doesn't want to be my wife any more, because she feels that I am not the man for her in that position. What makes it so hard is that I KNOW she is the woman for me. Just really sucks that it isn't reciprocated. The good thing about the whole situation is, we're not arguing, and fighting and doing generally what everyone expects from a divorce. We're actually communicating so much better now that all these feelings are out in the open. We've been skating around so many issues since we've been married, and never really talked about them. And it's so odd too, because we've never had a problem talking about anything. Only things that effect our relationship are apparently off limits. Right now I just need the strength to get over this woman. I know that it's going to be the hardest thing that I've ever had to do. What's going to make it even harder is, she still want to be really good friends. She's told me so many times over the past few weeks that I am the best friend that she's ever had, ever. And I believe it. I took her to counseling the other day, because she's totally torn up over her decision as well, but she knows that dragging out a marriage that she doesn't want to be in would be bad for all parties involved, especially Kian. And that's what we need to worry about. It's definitely going to be a long year. Edited August 17, 2007 by Du Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mara 29 Posted August 17, 2007 I hope everything works out okay... It's almost deja vu to what my cousin went through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 17, 2007 Yea, I'm hoping that everything works out too. I mean, works out in the sense that, we can remain friends and all. Oh yea, and on top of all this...I have a friggin leak in my rook now. When it rains it pours. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 17, 2007 Well, yes... lol. But I don't think it's gonna work out that way for my cousin, though. Yeah, she wants to be friends with him. Basically, the whole "you're still my best friend and I want to talk to you all the time even though I'm on a my second boyfriend since we were separated" thing. And the creepy thing is, her parents like him a whole lot more than her. They even got him Christmas presents last year while they were still actually separated. Though her problem, I think she just thought getting married was a lark. Something fun to do for a few months. I mean, she was a nice girl but very screwed up. So speaking of him and this thread, I think the divorce was finally final last week, so keeping him in your thoughts might be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 17, 2007 I definitely will be thinking of him. I can say though, that I really do believe Christina wants to stay friends, cause I do know that she does care about me. That, and I'm the father of her son too, and she wants things to be as good as possible for Kian. Because in the end, he's the only one that matters in this situation. We both have an obligation to make sure that Kian is taken care of and that he is ok emotionally, if if he may not be old enough to really know what's going on. But, he does know that something is wrong, kids are smart like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 17, 2007 Yeah. But I think you two are actually thinking about a real relationship. I think my cousin's ex just wants him to be her "buddy" or her best girl friend, lol. Everything was really weird. Probably a good thing neither of them wanted kids. It would have been a real big mess then. I don't even think they had a good year together, really, before they separated. Part of it was they hardly saw each other, yeah, but I think it was mostly her and her weird idea of what a marriage was. I think after she chased him and they started dating and actually got married, it wasn't fun anymore. We don't know for sure, but we think she was seeing someone else at the time before/during the separation. I never thought I'd say that I liked my other cousin's wife better, lol.

Uncle Du 22 Posted August 17, 2007 lol Hm, I see people getting married for the wrong reasons all the time, and looking back, maybe we did too. To this day, C isn't sure if she wanted to get hitched. But, she said yes, because she said that's what she thought I wanted. I wanted to, but I wanter her to want to as well. I just need honesty really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 17, 2007 Yeah, we all do. I just hope he can fine someone else someday. It was 3-4 years of marriage, but at least 2 years was separation. I think he kept on hoping it would change. He didn't ever want to file and was waiting for her to. She finally did a few months ago. On top of it all, he's starting a new job soon. And I think he had surgery a few weeks ago, I don't remember what kind. Hernia maybe? Just like your leaky ceiling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
