Random thoughts on the life of a man who married too young, stayed too long, and learned more about himself in the last two years than he every thought imaginable.
So, it's Halloween and all I can think about is how much fun my kids will have this evening. They love Halloween, and why not? It's probably the best holiday for kids after Christmas.
And, the only thing I can think of is how I'd like to go to a Halloween party this evening after the kids are tucked away in bed at their mother's house.
It's been only two weeks since the separation, but I am already feeling like I just want to move on.
I know it will take time for the kids, and I am totally ready to spend that time. But I also find I am ready to pull my head out of the sand and maybe see what's going on out in the world.
My sister is coming to town this weekend and I am really looking forward to it. Maybe we'll go out for a drink Saturday night. That would be nice.

So, this is my first blog, ever. Hence the ingenious title. :)
I am recently separated and find it really hard to think about a relationship of any kind, but I know I need friends, and I know I need people to talk to and confide in.
I did everything I possibly could to make my marriage work, but it just didn't. It's a horrible feeling to know you failed, but why continue doing something that just isn't working and doesn't look like it ever will. I spent the last two years trying to fix things, but I realized that as much as I did to fix myself, I could not fix my wife. Only she can do that.
I love my kids more than anything in the world, and will do everything I can to help them live a happy life. Unfortunately, part of doing that is not staying with my wife. It seems a cruel irony to me.
I think that's about it for this first post. Much more will follow in the coming days, months, and probably even years.
