Heard over a glass of wine with a friend the other night: "Isn't everyone's ex crazy?'.
We laughed. a LOT. Because it's true! Doesn't matter who you talk to, on which side...anyone on any side of a divorce thinks the other person is crazy.
It's an interesting persective. I think that no matter what those sitting on one side or the other have to think so in order to really feel ok about the fact that things just didn't work out.
Wouldn't it be lovely if we could all be adult enough to call it a day, say it didn't work (for whatever that reason is) and do our best to try to make things as smooth as possible from there on out? Especially if children are involved.
At some point you loved that person enough to walk down the aisle after all. Things didn't work out. It sucks. Life gets in the way, people change, people make mistakes. It happens. But does that have to translate in to 'clearly that person is crazy and I am totally sane'? It's funny isn't it? To stand back and look in without all the emotion attached.
I'm certainly no expert on the subject and wouldn't pretend for a minute that I don't fall in to the trap of 'ex-dom'. I have done the same. I'm sure he has as well.
Maybe, just maybe....we are ALL a little bit crazy. Life is just that way.
