9:00a.m.
I thought today was going to be a typical Sunday. I woke up and got ready for church. Great service by the way! Went out to lunch with old friends I hardly see anymore, and headed home.
3:00p.m.
Lay down for a 2 hour Sunday afternoon nap...a necessity!
3:20p.m.
Receive the following text message from my assistant manager:
If I wanted a 2 bdrm apt., how much will you charge me?...I'm just tired of all the drama! "A" lives with her boyfriend and their 3 year old son. They aren't married but have been together for about 5 years. He's asked her, she just won't say yes.
3:45p.m.
Back to sleep
5:00p.m.
Wake up, check on Madi (who plays with my neighbor while I rest). When I walk outside the neighbors 5 year old tells me "L is going to Florida." (L is her 6 year old step sister) This means L's Mom and Step dad are fighting again. So I see L's mom, and I say "Are you leaving?" She says yes...she's done. The threats of leaving have been going on for the last 6 months of their 12 month and 5 days marriage. This time, she actually left.
I don't know how I feel about this. They are definitely NOT happily married, and despite what they say, I don't believe they would have gotten married if she had not gotten pregnant. (They have a total of 4. 2 from his first marriage, 1 hers previously "L" and the baby together.) I believe God despises divorce, but if He never intended them to marry in the first place, what's the answer?
So by 5:00 today, I watched two families fall apart. Neither of which were happy families anyway, still makes me sad.
Am I the only one who still believes in "For Better, For Worse" and "Happily Ever After"?Labels: breakups, Divorce, families, marriage |
