“I realized I was the Asshole”
…and other prized words from the book, LOVE UNFU*kED
The other day, my Audible account informed me that my new pre-order was ready for listening. This book was a suggestion from a guy friend of mine who I have worked with a lot in the past. Both of our work revolves around relationships and the natural world. There is always something to be exploring, you know?
This friend was with me during the entirety of the demise of my marriage as well as through my divorce. His support of me changed everything for me because of his stable honesty; his honest kindness as well as his honest reproach. He is a true friend, like no other I have ever had.
I have been with him through his hard times as well. Before the end of my marriage, he was doing a lot of soul-searching about his marriage as well. He recognized that he had married his wife to keep her, not because he was ready to get married. He recognized that he wasn’t really ready to have children when she wanted to either.
He was getting more and more honest with himself. I was and am currently so proud of him. Watching him come to grips with the realities he had chosen, embrace them and walk with them, fully committed, has been the biggest breath of fresh air for me, ever.
