Another One Bites the Dust...
Well. Here we are. Months since my last post and where is roadwarriorwife.com is no farther along. That's not entirely true. It's farther, it's just invisible to the naked eye. I've ditched 3 different hosting platforms and two web-development tools. I'm throwing in the towel on "fancy" for the summer & going to put the site back up without any bells and whistles.
In the meantime...another roadwarriorwife couple has bit the dust. What do I mean? Second divorce of the year from a couple where the husband travels a lot. The travel factor may be a coincidence but it's nevertheless unsettling. It's sad. It's depressing. And I fear there are more to come. I am studying couples with a different viewpoint. We. Are. Entering. That. Age. Please tell me you know what I mean? The blush of new love has worn off. The kiddies are slightly more self-reliant. And couples across the country are looking at each other with fresh eyes. Who is this person I married? Many of us can still happily say "yes, this man has changed; I have changed; but yes, I still love him." And others... well, others are saying "no... as a matter of fact, no." But I have to wonder... are they saying to "no" to their spouse, or "no" to the reality of everyday life in your late 30's?
