My wife is leaving me. How do you really write about something like that? Its a situation I find myself ill equipped to deal with. I have no frame of reference, and I cant turn it into a sports analogy like the news pundits do because I know nothing about the wacky sports in this country.
I suppose I could write about how I "feel"
When she told me there was someone else I was (naturally) shocked
When I found out he was 19 and in Northern Ireland I was confused
When she bought an 800 dollar plane ticket to go see him I was angry
When she started talking to him on the voice chat while I was in the room I was sad
When I started talking to my friends about getting an apartment together I was excited
When I realized I would be able to make ex-wife jokes I considered a career as a stand up comedian.
I always try to look on the bright side of things, I suppose this means the world is my oyster.
I hate oysters.
The world is my taco.

wow...not sure i could handle this situation that gracefully and with such little anger
Sorry to hear this news. I know you come out better on the other side. Good luck.
That sucks, but on the bright side, you have practically your whole life ahead of you! I saw that your profile says you're 25 years old. Take comfort in knowing that most guys are still out on the prowl at this age and now you are too. Use this experience to teach you something about who and what you are looking for in life. Best of luck.
Hey man. Praying for you. Hey give me a call sometime if you want, I'm up at school... I don't want to post my cell # tho so I'll tell Nicole to give it to you. I'm gonna try to stop in BN sometime next week on my fall break. -Patrick
P.S. You're right, tacos kick some oyster ass.
i so definitely agree with lauren elizabeth's comment.
