She sometimes remembers a man. And wonders how he is. She remembers holding hands and walking in the mountains. She remembers watching him sleep and thinking that she could die right there and be happy.She remembers his laugh, his corny jokes. The stories that he tried to write. He told her about the bad things that he had been through. The wreck that killed his girlfriend. The horrible way that he treated his wife. His wives. He told her that he would NEVER do that to her. He lied. She loved his mother. She still does. She remembers thinking that she was finally in love. Really and truly, forever in love. She remembers thinking that he was such a good father. He's not. She knows the minute that it started to end. The very second. A cruel remark that he made to her. He allowed his children to say hateful things about her because she was older than him. She remembers knowing that he didn't respect her. Didn't respect any woman. He didn't think that a man was capable of being faithful. She has met one that is. She is very, very certain of one thing now. He is the loser. He will regret things when he is older. And she will smile.

Yes he is the loser, and he will have many regrets as he grows older. Older and lonely and bitter and sad! Many regrets he gave up the best thing he ever had.....

Hey Val, just stopping to check in on ya. Glad you are busy and staying well, I hope. I gotta tell ya tho that, "He will regret things when he is older. And she will smile." may never happen, if you had one like I had who didn't have a consience. (I Hope That may not be the case, and you may eventually see some flicker of satisfaction and validation.)

Mouse, you may be right friend. he DOESN"T have a conscience or he wouldn't have done what he did. Good thinking... Hope that you are doing well. I sure do miss you and everyone. Take care honey.

Taylor, thank you my friend. I hope the day will come very soon when I can be back among my friends here and read all of YOUR blogs. I do nothing but work now it seems. Anyway, I miss all of you. Take care and lots of love.

One can only hope that this man will someday face the same treatment that he heaped onto others----learn his lesson----and then SINCERELY apologize for being a jerk!

Val Anne, I was married to one of these for 17 years. I tried and now I have found what I should have had and what I am blessed with, my Matthew. Ones that treat others cruelly never find this love and joy.

ValAnne, I have done the same, think of you. Thanks so much. I have been fine, today I am surviving the cold in Ny with the girls. It has been a winter, I think we deserve a mild one next year, heck, we earned it.

the cycles continue - until sometime decides that violence will no longer be a part of their relationships.
I have written at length about dv on my couchtalk blog.

I love the way you painted a memory.
Men like that never get better ... They just grow old and die alone ... as it should be!
Women who survive them are the lucky ones.
Hugggggggggggggggz,
Taylor
See you later...Heide

Someday, 'just ok' is just ok - who cares what others expect of us - taking care of ourselves in our way is number one -
I hope you have some nice plans for the Easter weekend.
