Quote From: pad1gett Since I don't know the details of this breakup, I will withhold comment except to say I wish people would try harder to repair damaged marriages instead of selfishly ending them without trying all avenues. I was told when I married that at 16, you have made your bed. Now lie in it and I have for 53 years without regret. There were times it would have been easier to just say good-bye and leave but we knew we saw something in each other and neither of us strayed outside marriage when things got tough. In fact, I can't remember when things weren't tough but we muddled through and our family was intact and we have earned the happiness we have found. I would encourage the daughters to go forward. It never helps to hold a grudge. Seek help in understanding the why in this case.
Aunita Padgett Orlando Florida My marriage ended after 29 years. He decided that he wanted to live the rest of his live with "Mary Jane" because he thought about her all the time. These butterflies drove him in another direction. I was totally hearbroken and still carry scars. What hurts is to see the children continue life without him. He was a good father and good husband, in fact, he was a terrific person. The children want nothing to do with him because they do not feel any kind of remorse from him, any kind of message that would say "please contact me, I miss you" --- he seems to still be floating on cloud nine since 2002.
What a mess.... I have decided to continue down the road alone, now divorced, but I feel bad that he is missing out on seeing the children (now adults) and being part of their lives. Was it worth it? God only knows.
