Reflections in a Mirror: The Story of Us (Part 1), EXTREMELY LONG

Reflections in a Mirror: We have to give a bit of a history lesson here, to understand a few things. I met my wife back in 2005, *Smirks* I was such a virgin, into video games, self growth and that was it; to the point that I didn't even recognize that I practically lived with her for 6 months before I even realized she existed. The person I love most in the world right now, didn't even exist for me, as in I have I can't even remember her, because she didn't stand out. She was just a person who hung out everyday at this house I practically lived at, a gamer Haven, of endless LAN parties, and table top sessions. Playing World of Warcraft until I literally fell unconscious at the keyboard. *Grins* Games are great aren't they? I was in the Military at the time, and after 6 months of not knowing she existed, despite being around me most days, she transferred to my Unit, because she was going to Deploy with us. At the time, she was pretty much the only person from my gamer Haven that was in my unit, the only person I could even feel remotely connected with in my company. So, I started seeking her out, and developing a friendship. We became best friends, and when we deployed, we pretty much did everything together. She was in a relationship with one of the other Gamers I knew back then, so it stayed just a deep friendship for many months, until he cheated on her and they broke up. We just sort of fell into each other after that, our very souls collided from the tension she had been feeling for almost a year, because she was highly attracted to me from the beginning and she was the first real relationship I had ever had, *Smiles* I gave her my virginity after all. *Grins* We had a few magical months, where we truly and deeply got to know one another, I poured over her past, soaking up every story and exploit with rapt attention, every lover, every adventure, every thing. We bonded over the best and worst moments of our lives, endlessly talking and exchanging letters, and I love you's. She was the first person, who was so highly sexually charged, filled with so much desire and longing, a few words and teasing touches would make her explode. Oh, I long for that so much. That memory, the feel of her back then, hanging on every movement of my hand as it glided over her body, and I looked on her as a Goddess. We made love to each other back then, not always slow and sensual, but RAW and carnal, hard and frenzied, passionate. She got under my skin in a good way, crawled right up, and had me strung out on her. Mmmmmm, *Savors the memories* It was wondrous magnificent, magical, almost transcendent.

But we didn't use protection, and she got pregnant while we were on leave together; and, well..... to me, it felt like I lost her. She became completely consumed by fears and insecurities she had many, many bad relationships, lots of baggage, and I thought I was ready for it, I thought I could handle it, I thought I would be strong enough, but I wasn't. It was one of the reasons she was supposed to be submissive in the relationship, aside from the fact that she kinda gets off on that sorta thing *Grins* because, she recognized that she had these fears and insecurities, and that they had proven to be trouble for her in the past. The moment she had conceived our son, she warped into some profane thing, sick, and riddled with massive holes; and I was supposed to be the one to heal her.

"You don't love me, no one can love me."

"You only want me for my body."

"You're gonna leave like all the rest."

"Your only here for the child, you don't love me, your only here for him."

&July 22 2006 – This is part of an email exchange between my Ex and myself, she allowed her fears and distrust of men from past relationships, to taint ours, and entered into a period of severe crazy. Starting with the complete severing of all things sexual/physical in our lives. Paranoia, and control issues, pretty much set the stage for this entire relationship.

(((How do you really feel about me going through your
stuff?)))

I do not care about you going through my stuff. I am
not like normal people. I am just as soon to
recognize the value of having you go through my stuff
like getting to know me and keeping my email account
active when I can not log on for a while so I don't
loose old emails, as others would be to become
defenseive over their privacy. If I want to do
something behind your back there would be no way to
stop me as you said to intelligent. IE if I wanted to
order something from amazon for your birthday or
christmas and wanted it to be a suprise I would
probably create a secondary amazon account or change
the email address on my current one. Then you would
not accidentally stumble across something your
present. Havent thought about doing it before but
since that was spontaineous thought it goes to show
that if I actually want privacy concerning something I
will get it. But I have nothing to hide so *Shrugs*.
I don't mind you going through my stuff. It is a
test of character in and of itself for you to be able
to look at my past and the people or women I have been
friendly with and have you battle your own jelousy
demons. Eventually things like jelousy hopefully do
not touch our relationship. Alien thouhts on my part.

(((Your sex drive doesn't bother me hun I just want to
know I am more.)))

Was not a comment on my increased sex drive. Was a
comment on the frustration and strain it causes on it
not being met as a need to be expressed and on not
being able to bond myself the way I wanted to. Turns
me cold inside so I don't do something stupid.

(((I have though I am more and been slapped for it.)))

You are more to me and I don't know how to prove it
nor think it should be proved but recognized. I have
tried and it seems to be a battle trying to climb a
wall with no hand holds. You are so busy looking back
that you don't see me in front of you. Running away
from your fears thus letting them control you.

*A knife stab to the chest I'm bleeding. Wounded by
your actions caused by fear. Fear of me leaving.
Fear of me not truly loving you. Fear I am just out
for sex.* In your desperation running from your fears
you plung the knife in my chest unknowingly. Cutting
away asking me to be both what I am not placing me in
a box and accepting of it. I told you at the begining
I was a sexual creature but that that did not mean I
would get into a relationship built purly on sex.
You've not taken me for my word and swung the axe like
a killing blow to cut something from someone that
makes them who they are so you can pay attention to
the other threads that bind us together because that
one was distracting you. Then you see these other
threads and you still doubt and cut them to see why I
am still with you. Wondering what string it is. The
others a distraction so cut them. It is what it seems
like and feels like from me. Even when I point out
all the things you are blind to because of fear you
still are unaccepting. I show you we talk more then
you think more then sex binding us together more then
"just the baby". Eventually you may cut one to many
strings for repair on this course of action you are
on. Acceptance and surrender. You do not accept my
love and neither have you surrendered to it. Without
those two elements you will never fully feel loved
because you will not allow yourself to. You have some
repairing to do and I told you I would stick around
until you have done it. Free of past fears and a
shattered soul. It seems you mean to blast the
moutain with dynimite trying to see if it is a
mountain because surly a little dynimite would not
destroy a mountain. I said it was my job to help you
get there and that is what these words are to inform
you of your own actions, ones a person may be denying
to themselves, so you can see and do something about
them. If you can not find the problem you can not fix
it. Two elements have cut the deepest. You thinking
I only want to be with you because of sex and thus to
my perception cutting it off from me all things sexual
in order to prove it is not, surly a relationship can
survive this. *Slash one rope holding the boulder*.
And You thinking I only want to be with you because of
duty and obligation caused because of our son. Two
fears of yours that make you foucus on what I say or
ask for along those lines and each depressing you when
I do, because it only serves to strengthen your view
point. You pay so close attention looking for those instances,
that you miss everything else other then what to see,
discounting it because it is not what you are looking
for. Pushing it aside in your head. Then you only
remmember what you focused on and everything else is
gone not able to remember what else was said 'cides
that so if you can't remember it it must not have
happened. You build and manifest your own fears by
having them. And it is all I can do to try and
prevent you from doing that. *Cut the rope holding
the boulder* How many ropes are there before it
falls?

(((I'm afraid to ask question becuase I might not like
the answers.)))

As well you should be because I don't candy coat
things when I don't feel it will help. Ask me and the
truth might cut. That is if you believe it. I
profess my love often yet it still seems hollow to
you. Enough that you have to prove its existance
anyway.

(((I learned that the hard way. You do mean alot to me
and I'm sorry that My scared catness is pissen you off
but you knew I was a bit jumpy.)))

Yes it is. I accepted it as a part that needs to be
healed and changed. I am telling you these words so
you can self evaluate and heal it. I do not expect
leaps and bounds of progress but I do not expect
backwards progress that seems to be leaking through.

Love you babe. Need to go Irry is my battle buddy and
just left.

I will try to stay my safest so I can come home to you
and Stewie. Miss you alot. Your in my thoughts and
heart. Love you bye.

&July 24 2006 – I really am/was such a dreamer, I had such high hopes for us as long as she could heal... she never did.

Lo babe,

Love you.

You keep saying you want to change to be worthy of for
me. I don't know what it is about yourself that you
want to change. A few times you regret alot of your
choices in life it seems especially sexual ones and I
do not know how you mean to change them. I fell in
love with you the way you were and are. Sometimes it
scares me that you may change to much away from what
you once was and I will not know how to handle it.

You are a gamer. As such you know how to have fun
relaxing at home gaming and it could be something we
share together at times as well. Not a mix match on
life styles.

You are a warrior. Assertive and outgoing you have
strength in you that I find attractive. It is a
personality trait I find attractive. It means you
also have the potential to let me know what you want
and what is wrong, the courage to speak up.

You are a empath. Sensitivity mixed with masculinity
of the warrior creates a decent balance as long as you
strive to maintain it and so far you have. Caring and
loving you have compassion when nessisary to offset
the tom boy/Alpha female vibe you give off. You can
have a bitting sense of hummor and also be able to
comfort if it goes to far.

You are a sexual creature. Succubus to my Incubus.
You don't always like this aspect of yourself and it
seems like you want to change it but it means you are
a sexual match for me. I want to be free, open
minded, and experimentive here as well as in other
aspects. Self image I care little for. Prudishness
will probably not be liked nor tollerated. You are my
complement in so many ways I don't want you to become
disharmonious because you want to feel "worthy" I
think you are worthy to look on in love. I know you
need to feel worthy as well but don't change yourself
to much. You want to let your fear and trust issues
slip away but don't change who you are. Especially
changes I did not ask you to make.

I am adventure and not boredom. At least I try to be.
I like to try new things. I would like to take you
out to try those new things. Wether it is to a BDSM
club. A cruise we never had before. Perhaps when the
kids leave even backpack once or twice. Maybe even
try a foursome as one of those spontaneous events.
You've had one lined up once before so the curiousity
possibly plays at your head too. I am a free spirit
not prone to settleing down. But I have always
dreamed of having a family. You are a free spirit who
has let her wings get clipped. I mean to spend my
life with you and teach you to fly again. Have a
stable place a stable mate but with room to play cause
I like to play. I want you to play with me. I can be
serious when I need to be but I will not give up that
aspect of myself.

You require me to put food on the table, Keep the
house clean, Balance the books, and Ensure the kids
are clean. I can do all that. Plus help you relax
when it is needed. Show you and have you feel my love
when you are down. Be your mountain and stability
your center.

I need your love, I need you to accept my love. I
need you to be my wings when I want to fly and that
anchor so I have somewhere to come back to. You will
be my center my constant. My love my life. A
partner. Freedom to dream and drag you along with me.
*Smiles* Remember when I wanted to dress you up and
take you out? I have not stopped. Open minded and
free. Experimentive. I need to help you let go of
your ego and you ease mine. Fear of embarrassment
could place bounderies where I don't want any, so it
means a little pushing on my part.

The chocolate portion of love is what I am addicted
to. That initial high. Tests have told me and you
have told me. The same is true for you the best part
is the beginning. Boredom kicks in after. I have
spent my life in research of how to keep the chocolate
and revive it when it turns vanila. I need a non
traditional partner. Someone not scared not to be
bored. Someone who isn't going to bore me. Someone
to laugh with, cry with, explore life and have fun.
There may be boring periods as we save up to get there
but... we have fun along the way.

I am a realistic dreamer. I see the greatest
potential and the grandest dreams but at the same time
I realize what little steps are needed to get there
and am willing to go through with them.

I love you alot. I want that life partner to be you.
You are my other half if you are willing to accept it.

Eventually I am going to need you to let go of fear
and trust me to help you fly. To be free you also may
need to work on a few other things. Jelousy. If you
want to have the option open, a path not closed you
need to let go of it. To do this you need to
recognize that you are my center my home and no mater
where adventures take us at the end of the day we are
going home to be with each other.

Lets see. A little more practical.

You are a gamer so many nights are going to be devoted
to games and lounging around the house. One to two
nights a week need to be couples night. Also you need
to have a degree of flexiblity perhaps one to two days
a month I can turn in my spontainious card and even if
it is not couples night I can suprise you. Main thing
is not to get bored with each other, Sexually or
Emotionally. So when I go to take steps to make sure
that does not happen follow along and enjoy it.

We can talk of money some other time. You said you
would leave finances in my hands and I am good with
math and numbers so all things will get taken care of.

&August 31 2006 – I we were having connection issues because of the physical distance between us, so I took the time to do one of my introspection exercises. At the time, she was very much into bdsm, and desiring me to be her Master, lets just say, that never really happened, if it had, I don't think we would be divorcing right now, and her life would have probably been a lot better. The separation, is that she couldn't bring herself to allow me the control necessary to build a scrap folding for her to rebuild form.

Me: Love
Me: I love you because you love me
Me: I love you because you show
appreciation in my abillity to understand you.
Her: I love you for so many things being Donny is
one of them
Me: I love you because I see the
potiential you can become.

then you know
Me: I love you because you need me
Me: I love you because I need you.
Me: I love you because you show a
willingness to trust in me.
Me: I feel your love after we have sex
and you sigh in contentment with me inside you.
Me: I feel your love when you whimper
cause Ive pulled out.
Me: I feel your love in your smile when
you think I am cute.
Me: I feel your love when you are crying
on my shoulder.
Me: I feel your love when you want to
share a part of who you are with me.
Me: I love you becauase you accept me for
being crazy.
Me: I love you because you allow me to
live a dream
Me: I need you to need me.
Me: I need you to not take me for granted
Me: I need you to appreciate me
Me: I need you to allow me to express
myself free of judgment.
Me: I need you to save me from being
lonely.
Me: I need you to satisfy my desires.
Me: I need you to fullfill me sexually
Me: I need you to let me dream

need to cry.

as I love you.
Me: I need you to learn you have

Me: I love to stare into your eyes
Me: I love to cuddle with you.
Me: I am discontent sexually.
Me: I am feeling lonely because of this.
Me: I am feeling under appreciated at
times
Me: I am feeling as if you don't respect
my needs.
Me: I appreciate you understanding my
needs by not blowing up at me when I took the pictures
without your permission and the trust it will build
that I respect your wishes not to show them off.
Me: I appreciate the times we have had
video sessions, Showing effort on your part. But you
are still reluctant at times to make the effort and
have not initiated it once. It comes across as my
needs are a burden to you and I do not sexually excite
you anymore. Until I catch myself and say it is
because she is pregnant and does not love herself. I
then feel inadiquate to make you feel sexually
attractive for me.
Me: I love the feel of your skin
Me: I love your body
Me: I worry about how you are going to be
around the kids recongizing they pick up traits from
their parents.
Me: I worry about them picking up
impatience from you.

fear control them from you.
Me: I worry about them picking up divided
attention from you.
Me: I worry about what traits I have I
consider to have a negative impact on children but do
not admit to myself.
Me: I worry how you might take this
entire paper not as a means by which we can
communicate our current mental emotional state and
learn from it but as an attack which it is not how it
is meant to be received.

procrastionation from me.

want you to do for me.
Me: I call it a mental snap shot.
Me: I wrote all that in one sitting.
Me: Night babe

&Sept 2 2006 – She responded to my introspection exercise. It just goes to show exactly how much FEAR, was in command of her life, not allowing her to live it. These fears, eventually choked the relationship, and the very life from me.

((I love you for being Donny, For letting me have my
fears and being a real man not to be like she crazy
and walking away. I love you for standing by me. I
need the strenght you give me. I need you for the
moutain you are when I am weak. I fear you cheating on
me. I fear betrayal above all else. I fear letting you
in to see me at me weak moments for fear that you will
not like what you see and walk away. I fear needing
you to do my job in the army I fear needed you to
complete my life. hmm love...I just love you for
everything you are and not and everything you will
become. I love you for everything. I hope that is
soemthing of what you are looking for because I don't
know what else to say to you. I just feel who and how
I am. right now is not a time to ask me to look in
myself I am afraid of the hurt and pain that is flying
up to get me. I have no friends really left in Ma. I
have a few people I can see but no one I will trust.
You were/are a rock through this time and I can't love
you anymore for that. You are truly someone special.
Oh yes your sense of humor is a big turn on. Oh feel
love right you want to know when I feel love from you.
Always. everything I do and say when you name is in my
head or on my lips I can feel it. that is all I can
say and do for you babe. I am a creature of feeling.
which gets me in so much trouble. ok going to bed
italmost 230am and I need to get some sleep.

tell your son to stay away from my rib cage. Love you))

*Smiles* Hey babe. I remember typing the response
too but I don't think yahoo ever sent it for me or it
was still a day dream.

*Smiles* Dispite your proclamations that you can't do
it you did just not like by line like mine. I am now
more aware of how you are feeling and what your fears
are. We can address you fears later and work through
them together. I will not let you hold apart of
yourself back out of fear for it will prevent you from
reaching true satisfaction and contentment and will
damage us in the long run if I did so. I am not
saying transformation happens overnight just that I
will be there to help you go through it.

I do love who you are now but to me seeing the
potential is natural as loving it. I don't see just
me very often. I see me growing towards my potential
which I have not met yet and may never meet. I don't
like to become a stagnant person. I do like to help
others start moving toward their potential again. So
from my perspective it is not not loving who you are
now as a person. It is loving who you are now as a
person, seeing what you can become, desiring to help
you reach this state because I love you.

I also recognized that I am alot more cause and effect
orientated so I compartmentalize alot of my
experiences. That is how it is easier for me to say
one particular thing. The truth is that I love you.
When I limit that love so I can think about why it
helps me come up with that list. Words can never
really discribe why I love you. They can just point
out rational reasons that we are in sync. I do not
focus on the why's I just allow myself to feel that
love and let it course through me pure. The feeling
is to big to be contained in the simple words I love
you. To complex. Felt deeply.

*Smiles* I love you. But because I love you I will
not let your fears control this relationship. With my
love we will defeat them. *Smiles* Remember, the day
you truly accepted me into your life is the day you
lost control. You lost control so I can give it back
to you. Real control free of the emotional scaring
from the world. *Smiles* Admiting it and placing
yourself before me only accelerates this process. I
love you but because I love you I will not let your
fears control this relationship. *Smiles* You mean
the world to me and in a breath, I would give you the
moon if I could.

*Rides up on a powerfully muscular horse who's
lusterous coat is of the darkest purple almost black.
Magnificent animal radiating power. The grinning man
atop the beast stares at you with his calming blue
eyes offering you a hand. Freedom and a life of
adventure he seems to be promising with that
guesture.*

Come accept my hand and we are free. *Smiles*

&Sept 8 2006 – We were going through some pretty tough times, she was still questioning my every action, my every word, and sometimes, when I said I love you, I got, when are you going to leave me, in return. She was so hung up on needing me to prove that I loved her. It was a very dark time in my life, and it never went away. Sacrifice, mine, cutting away at myself, the things that made me who I was, that was her love language, and as long as I bled for her, she was happy.

((You and I see life through different eyes. I am sorry you are hurt. When we fight or I talk to you about things including us and you quote books. Like last night and you did it again. I am glad you studied for so long you don't go in blind however there is more to us then a book.
I understand you. You think that holding on will make everything work out the way you want. Sometimes yes but if 20 people came up to you and said that I was sleeping with someone else would you hold on in hopes in working things out? Minus me being pregant. I am trying to say your friend is in for a world of hurt.
I love you and I undertand you better than you think. You have a stubbon streak in you that will not let you give up on us no matter what. My fears my asking for time and space. Do you want me to pull you apart to show you how much I know you.
You love me..Having a kid has been a dream come true for you. You don't want to be like your dad which is a powerful motivation to make things work. You want to be a better man. YOu don't want your kids to hate you or fear you like you did your dad. You want a woman as strong as your mom someone that can take care of them elf if the need arrives. YOu need to be needed and love. The though of being a stay at home dad has been a big daydream of yours. You want to be compasonite and loving dad and hubby. These are the things that make you tick. Am I wrong?))

From a young age I have been exposed to a lot. Hate,
cruelty, suffering, etc. Most of it I received from
my peers. I grew up no better then them though.
Where I had no one to watch my back as others tried to
kill me or beat me up I did have the ability to reign
tyranny on my siblings, through the only thing I
understood at the time. Anger is a part of my soul,
Anger at humanity, anger at its intolerance, anger at
its ability to inflict cruelty and suffering on one
another. Anger that its own stupidity is going to
destroy itself. I was in Oklahoma when the federal
building was blown up. 12 - 13 years of age I was
already desensitized to violence to the point that it
didn’t even phase me. I have had my own peers try and
almost succeed in killing me. Memories of violence
and hate fill so much of my past that it all bleeds
together. This was humanity treating me this way even
when I did nothing to provoke it. I was just the new
kid and a loner, not part of the tribe, different.
Perceived as easy prey because I usually didn’t fight
back. Aside from my brother and sister I have only
ever been in one fight in my life and that at the
direction of someone I was seeking acceptance from.
Racism, Bigotry, Hypocrisy. Everyone around me seemed
to just radiate hate. So when I say my dad is not my
motivator I can say it with a fair amount of accuracy.
Despite his failings in my eyes at the time he was
still a lesser of a much more prevalent and greater
evil around me. At least I could see the reasons why
he gave out corporal punishments. He rarely beat us
unless there was a reason to. I have receive no black
eyes from him. He did not try to kill me. Age 13-15
are when I began a lot of my conscious meddling to
learn about people. I have always been intelligent
and mature for my age. Curious. Age 15 round about
is when I finally realized that I was no better and in
some ways worse then the people I loathed. Unable to
control my anger I subjected a lot of beatings to my
brother or sister when they did not act the way I
wanted. Like my brother talked at night a lot and
would not listen when I told him to shut up, so to
put more meaning behind it I punctuated it with a
strong punch to the leg or arm etc. anywhere but the
face.

Because I didn’t like who I was and wanted to get in
control of myself I started studying and developing my
spirituality, I virtually stopped violence overnight
but still had no conduit in which to direct my
explosive anger. The years since have been filled
with my driving need for spirituality and a connection
to the Divine. I have learned a lot about myself in
those years but I use the sink or swim mentality and
purification of the self though pain approach to
accelerate my learning process. I was devoid of
teachings about love compassion patience etc. I
destroyed myself and built my self again from the
ground up with my rebirth as Silveran.

So my motivations for being a good person are: I
didn’t like who I had become and decided to change and
rediscover who I was meant to be. I did not develop
resentment towards my father until after I decided I
wanted to know how to raise and guide a life in a
positive manner. The further I moved from my old self
the more respect I lost for him but he was not what
caused me to make that move nor learn about parenting.
Humanity did. I did.

-----------------------------------------

I am not out to prove anything to you. I am no longer
going to try. I have always and will continue to do
my actions because it is what I want to do. I will
not let you taint my actions by trying to prove
something instead of originating from where they
already come from, a place of love.

I could care less about sex in truth. I went 23 years
with out it. I don’t really want it. I want to be
able to express my love in any way I choose. I look
back at who I have been during this relationship and I
am proud of who I have been and what I have done. So
if that is not good enough for you I don’t care.

I have not created prejudice based off of what I have
asked you to share with me nor what people have said
about you. With me you are a new person, all
perceived failings (Ones you think you possess)
absolved with my love for you.

A new birth a new you the moment you let me in.
I am acceptance.

I have freed myself of constraints in my past and have
given you my heart. I have shed fears and given you
the ability to hurt me so that I might allow love and
devotion to fill me.

You hold my beating heart, the pulse of love.

Even with the risk known, I jumped in. I know your
past would still influence your actions even though I
am not those men. Trust issues fear about sex.

I pay the penance for others mistakes because of my
acceptance of you and my love of you. To me it is
part of your healing process.

I have held you crying in your weakest moments and I
have heard you firmly tell me no you didn’t want to
get married even though we both wanted to, because the
people at housing needed to learn something and you
did not want to take the easy way out.

I stood by and understood your decision, I held and
hold respect for your strength.

I have given of myself without expectation. Selfless
with only thought of your happiness trying to help
your dreams come true by being part in your reunion
with your daughter.

In times of need I have been dependable, supporting
you.

I have made an effort to actually learn who you are
and your motivations. An effort few have done. I do
it because I want to know whom I love.

I have demonstrated times when I just want to help you
relax; like the time I let you sleep on leave not
wanting to wake you up and later by giving you a
message just to give you a message. Just to cherish
you and express my love.

I don’t think of you as just sex I see you as a human
being a person I love.

-----------------------------------------

I have examined my actions and I am proud of who I am
and how I have acted. Through out this entire
relationship I have done things from a place of love.
It is you who are not receptive to it because you want
proof. Proof I can’t give because all my actions can
be shaded with this impure intent you project on them.
As long as you ask that question you will miss all
the small ways I have done just to show you care
because I want to do them and show you I do. I don’t
do things to prove anything and I will not. This last
day has been hell for me trying to think of how I can
prove what I know. Almost got in trouble many times
for the absentmindedness it but me in. No more. I am
not out to prove anything accept or don’t.

I would like you to go see a councilor while you are
back there before I get home. I will make any off our
conversations available and emails or the blogs I
write. If I can manage it I will take time to go to
one myself.

----------------------------------------

Just remember that I love you. We were friends before
we entered into this relationship and we have remained
friends throughout it. I am always there for you I
will never leave you. I am dying to get home to be
with you. Aching inside because I miss you so much.
I need you. I love you. I want to be with you.

Friends first. But even friends become strained at
times. We will work through this. Together. I am
always there for you if you need me. You can rely on
my strength for support always. I love you so deeply
words can not express it. You make me happy. I am
happy.

&Sept 9 2006 – I loved her so much back then, I've never stopped actually, that might be why this hurt so much, the pain of it hurts so much.

A Love Letter

I could tell you that I love you because of . . .
Your smile
Your kisses.
The feel of your skin in my hands loving caress
The hints of mischief and play that touch your eyes

I could tell you that I love you because . . .
I miss you
You are exotic
You inspire me
You are beautiful to me.
You are colorful and interesting.
You are my Chocolate Queen and my Gypsy Goddess.
I miss the sound of your voice
You are spicy and have sass
You are interesting to me
I miss your smile
You are loving

I could tell you I love you for . . .
Your love
Your laughter
Being my solace
Giving us our son
Your understanding
The stories you have shared
The tears shed on my shoulder.
The times you’ve made me laugh
The times we have had fun together
The times you accepted and appreciated that I care.
The depth of your strength when you want to do something
The times I’ve rested my head on your lap and you soothed me.
The times you’ve brushed your hand through my hair
The comforting times you have brought me
Joining me on this rollercoaster of life
A place where I belong, by your side.
The future we shall have together
The joys and sorrows yet to come
Making my dreams come true
The memories we’ve created.
The family you have given me
The happiness you bring me
The hole in my you fill
Protecting me from loneliness
Being the light of my world

I could say all these things and mean them all, but I
love you because I love you. Because I care about you
and I care about us. You are a treat to know and a
box full of surprises. I enjoy being with you. My love
is like superglue and the moment it touched you we
were bound. Through the thick and thin, the ups and
downs through life its self. I love you.

&Sept 11 2006 – My first breaking, and a reversion to Apathy as my safe zone. In the coming years, I would pretty much live here, because she never truly got that much better, we still fought over one thing or another constantly, which generally means, she would do all the yelling, and saying mean spiteful or cruel things, and I would use the support of Apathy to try reasoning with her. Finances and Sex, the downfall of almost all couples. But to be fair, 3 years of our 6 years together, were mostly sexless because of her issues, more than that, they were depreciating towards myself.

(((You want to hear the funny thing..Evertything you have pointed out in your e-mail to me is what I tell people about you to say he loves me and if you don't belive me here is proof. I look back and I see the same thing you have e-mailed me. I do love you and thank you for deleting the pics. You didn't have to delete your porn. I understand you want to just be with me and I think alot of it had to do with the week we just had sex talk I kinda got scared. That was all me. I don't need conciling they will boot me or my fears. I know we will work our way thorugh this. I think we need to be together face to face.I am still in love with you. I still think of you daily and can get happy when I think you might be home some. I love you I need you more than I care to think about. I still need to thank you for everything you did that helped me get our daughter. I know it hurts you that our daughter doesn't want you to live with us when you get home. At least it's just so she can get to know you. She is happy that we will have amonth before you come home just me and her. I am getting paid on the 15th. Not sure about the first yet though. I love you...I talk to Japser about you all the time he knows you love him. I talk to our daughter about you I told her you asked about her the other day. I love you and miss you I was so happy to talk to you on the cell phone. I do miss you so much. I didn't realize how much of a hole in my heart that not talking to you left for me. You mean the world to me. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I am scared that this will pull us apart I don't want it to. I need you in my life you make me feel better about who I am and what I've done. You don't hold it over my head you don't throw it in my face. You love me I know you do I see it in you actions I just don't want my history to repeat itself. I don't want you to walk away from us.

I say your dad is a movitation becuase you want to be a better person than he is. You work to better yourself I love that about yourself. You make me want to work at being better.

I love you and I do know love me I'm sorry if it seems like I don't know. I do know and I need you Donny. I love you Donny. Please don't end things with me. We only have a few weeks left please give us that time. I love you)))

Lo babe. I still love you. I am not going anywhere.
The thought never even crossed my mind. I was in a
real bad way after our last argument. I am still
kinda messed but it is alright. I just want a way to
be involved with you some how.

I guess the argument over the ability to express
myself sexually was triple edged. On one front you
continuing to say that you wanted to know the
relationship wasn't based on sex was like saying that
you still didn't accept the fact that I love you.
Another was I was seeking some means to reconnect with
you since I am a here now type person and physical I
was looking for a way to bring you closer to me.
Video chats and flirting were a way of doing that and
work when I am feeling the need to feel your
presence. Just words don’t work the same for me.
The last it was an effort to get you to understand
that you got involved with me knowing I was this way
as well and to help you understand it from my
perspective. I am still not sure I have accomplished
anything. I don't care anymore. meh. I know I love
you I know you love me. I also know you are a
sensual person like me but you just don't want to be
because of your past. Until you accept me as not
those other people .... *Shakes head* I give up.

The argument we had, had left me feeling real fucked
up on the inside. I had wrote some posts I do not
know if you read them or not. They are on my xanga I
decided not to put them on myspace. You may not want
to read them though since I wrote both on the day I
was all fucked up on the inside. I had left feeling
as if you didn't value anything I had to contribute to
the relationship, as if my thoughts and opinions where
superficial only good for picking out furniture because
I read books. I had also left feeling rabid with a
seed that would build into a rage extreme in intensity
about the doubts you still had in me and the love I
had for you. *Smiles* I talked to sally though
(Josh's Mom) and she helped me a lot after I had burnt
my self out during guard. The original email was
much harsher because I wrote it before I talked to her
and at the hight of my anger. Afterwards though I had
cooled down a lot. I love you much. I wrote A Love
Letter after that.

I thank you for the email you sent but I don't think
much will change until we are face to face like we
both agree on. I am feeling disconnected at the
moment (a typical response to that much anger I had
felt). Your words did not fall upon deaf ears but I
did not feel the power behind them when I should.
*Shrugs* I know I am physical person. I know I
naturally drift away from those not near me at the
moment or in contact. We maintain pretty good contact
but it still is lacking connection.

I have no intentions of going anywhere babe. Please
don't worry about it much. Not much that can me done
with the internet down anyway and me in the world of
the Jester Prince. Shutting down.

*Smiles* I did feel rather happy today though. I was
daydreaming about talking with our daughter about both
science and how to rekindle the love of learning and
about religion and god.

Lasted like 3 to 4 hours hehe. After that I ended up
writing her another letter. You never told me if you
got my letters babe.

*Smiles* I love you. I still feel love for you.
Just because I am feeling disconnected does not mean
severed and emotionless. And just because my shield
of apathy has asserted its self does not mean I don't
feel emotion. The pain of missing you so much and not
being able to deal with it just triggered my survival
mechanism and muted or turned down the volume on
emotions. I hope I can get rid of it before coming
back if not it is something we will have to work
though together again. Unsuppressing me yet again.

I love you much babe. I wish there was a way for me
to help you from here. Love you. Bye.

((( Sweetie you mean the world to me. Oh our daughter has some new rules and I think they will shed some light one what is going on in her head as far as you go.
1. You will not smoke
2. You will go to the doctors every year once a year at least.
3. You can't get fat.

These are the things she belives these are the things that caused her father to die. So she does not want to go through it again. If you can't promise these things then there will be problems. I will explain more when we are together. She said fat man can come over as long as he doesn't scare her. If he does then she will beat him.

As for us I know your hurt I am sorry about that. I want to know we have more than sex. that is all I want to know. I understand the reconnect part but is that all you want to reconnect to? that is what my big issue is. I don't have alot of time I have to go back to the company to give Holmes my EFMP paperwork from our daughter. I love you got to go. talk to you later. hoping 3 weeks and we will have our own place. Love you. So ina bout a month we might be talking online again I hope. Love you bye)))

I am done on the sex issue. Don't bring it up anymore
ok. Done.

I don't smoke. I am not a complete fatass and I do
not intend to be that way. I recognize the fact that
it is unhealthy in most situations and damaging to the
body and as such is a form of disrespect for yourself
and for the temple that houses your spirit. I plan on
trimming up a bit if possible yet beefing out. Lean
is the goal. A check up is well waranted though I
believe most doctors assistants complete incompetants.
Her wishes are in alignment with my own desires to
stay alive and healthy.

Did you get my letters?

We have shifted to 12 hour work days so it is more
like 13 to 14 hour work days. We still do not get any
days off so I work 7 days a week. Most of my day is
filled with guard duty and then sleep though we will
start the gym again as soon as they stop having
manditory stuff.

I was wondering if you wanted to get our daughter a stuffed
angel.

www.angels4kids.com

I was thinking Hot Pink unless she likes a different
color and the brown face with the My angel thinks I am
special or My angel loves me theme.

I will be sending her another letter tomorrow. The
one I wrote to her yesterday.

Anyway I think I should get some sleep. Gets pretty
draining out here.

&Sept 15 2006 – This set the tone for our relationship, in more ways than one, I have always been the one to yield to her. It didn't matter that I knew myself so well, that I recognized my own needs, they just weren't important enough to be taken into consideration, someone had to yeild, someone had to be the bigger person. That person, has always been me. How can she remain so blind, as to see, the very act of testing, of proving, is in itself wholly damaging.

Hey Beautiful *Smiles*

I am truly sorrow for the way I have been acting. I
allowed a crack to form within myself and me the
person who sees cracks didn’t see them. I have failed
you and myself.

I know how it formed. You gave me an obstacle, an
adversary to fight. He was you not feeling loved by
me or at least not seeing that my love for you has
nothing to do with sex. You even gave me something
tangible to show I had finally been able to show you I
loved you for you and not for what is between your
thighs. The proposed reward was lifting the
restrictions on us and our sexuality.

My mind naturally seeks to purge limits placed on me
without thinking. So telling to go against myself and
become unbalanced because you were unsure I actually
loved you became a test with a return to balance, a
return to me, as the reward for passing.

This struggle I engaged in happily because I like
tests so a lot of your discussions you took for
arguments but I wasn’t unhappy. Still unbalanced but
not unhappy.

I still love you and loved you at the time. I never
did anything to prove I loved you. To me there is no
need of proof. I do everything because it makes me
happy to be able to care for you and show my
affections. I started shifting away from myself
however when I subconsciously took on the test, in my
mind, thinking of all the things I have done that were
done selflessly because I love you and not to gain a
goal and started to use them to Ace this test.

Not being a test one can Ace, the frustration of not
knowing the answer; I let it consume me and grew
unhappy that there was a test at all. I should have
recognized then the crack and just stopped but I still
felt the need to have you believe that I love you and
that it is not about the sex. I guess trying to get
the reward for passing this particular test was self
defeating and has cause both of us nothing but pain.

I should have recognized you need space and time like
I have done before in the beginning of this
relationship. I should have accepted that you know I
love you but your past is still a difficult thing to
get over. I should have been paying attention but
this distance makes it hard.

I am not really discontent Mentally or Emotionally
because we still talk and laugh. We plan for the
future together, I am still Emotionally and Mentally
connected to you. It is the only thing keeping me
grounded and us together. Physically you are not here
and I want to be there so bad to be able to help you,
love you , talk with our son so he knows me, go through
the whole experience.

I have not been around pregnant females so I do not
know what you are going through at this moment but I
want to. I hate not being there for you. Sexually
you would like to put us on hold, Which now that it is
not the goal of Acing a test I can respect. To me
mechanical sex is superficial, so the act of sex would
be superficial if you didn’t enjoy it or feel
satisfied. You might not place significance on it but
I do. Not to the point that it is the focus of
anything though. I have been feeling like I am half a
person. I am sorry I let it cloud my judgment and
blind me though.

I have made commitments to myself and to you. I have
failed us both by not being as strong as I thought I
could be. The promise of patience. The promise of
understanding. Failing to see the crack form.
Allowing myself to be seeded in the first place even
if I fell pray to my natural tendencies to challenge
challenges. I am very sorry and I ask your
forgiveness.

*Tears met the eyes* Now I feel unworthy of your
love. Unclean. I am sorry babe. I miss you so much
its making me crazy. I love you more then you will
ever know.

I was reading all your old letters because you didn’t
send me an email yesterday and I ran across the one
where you had reached out to me and felt the depth of
my emotions for you once and the vastness of it scared
you. I smiled at that fact that at least once you
truly saw the ocean that is my love. Even if you
can’t right now.

I have been selfish and stupid, two things I usually
am not. I hope you can forgive me. I love you.

*Smiles with tears in eyes* I just had the song
“Don’t take the girl” play in my head.

I don’t want to lose you.

Love Donny.

&Oct 2006 – A few of her emails to me, she knew she had all these traits about herself, she didn't like them, she just felt she needed them, to protect herself. In 6 years, that hasn't changed.

(((I am sitting here watching a B horror movie. I am thinking of you a little. Wishing you were here for me to curl up with. You know how much I hate horror movies LOL. I love you alot more than sometimes I think is good for myself to even really know. I am scared that me telling you who can can can't come over will make you pissy. I know you know my reasons but still I love you. I just feel like I get to damending. I feel that I was disrespected by Jack that is why I don't waant him here in this house till he can talk to me himself and stop being an ass. Then we both know about Mannis. I am sorry if I seem like a total bitch about these guys. I am trying not to be but people piss me off and disrespect me and I don't feel like putting up with it anymore. I am to old I think to have to have to put up with it.

I feel like or been daydreaming,dreaming bad things like I said. One being that the above mentioned feel I am not good enough for you becuase I am to controlling and won't let the come over and hang out and all that. They make a point to come over and hang out knowing when I when I will be home and all that. I get madder and madder till I throw you out. You move into the barracks and are miserable. Jack and Mannis think they will have there little buddy back instead you get really really depressed. You don't do anything. I am sure they would be very happy to have you away from me. Well we do works things out eventually when you tell them to fuck off. I am trying to be nice and not say no they are off limits. I figure you can still hang with them as long as it's not near me LOL or this house. No I don't know what is going to happen to me and sarah's friendship. I see her leaving Jack there is no one there to run interferance LOL. Excpet Kerstin who tells people this is what you need to do or what I would do and if you don't listen well. Usally her advice is to be hard and mean. Sarah is not that type and will just walk away from him or loose herself till she is miserable which she already has been doing. Yea I've done that a few times myself. I finally see what Sara's been saying all along about him and I am sorry for the bad advice I have given ` her or when it looked like I took his side. I miss her friendship sort of I miss having someone to talk to and brag about you or wench about you. I am lining here in bed after a hot shower and thinking of you again. Wondering if I am the wrong person for you if you deserve better than me and the life I am going to tke away from you. You seem happy now but what happenes in a few years will you still want to be with the crazy lady?

I am sevcure sort of in who I am the crazy lady. Yet I want to be with you and be happy. I am afraid to wish that you are the one I have been waiting for all my life. I am kinda tired and going to bed myself. I just wanted to put out soemthing going on in my head. I know you always want to know but I am scared of hurting you or you taken things personal which is why I don't share all the time. Still worried your gopoing to pull a Wrong still worried your going to wake up and be like FUck this shit and leave me. I am taken a chance still thought please don't hurt me. I love you
ok well going to read then crash be good come home safe and soon.)))

(((I love you. Just writing this to say I love you. You mean the world to me. I want to be a family with you. We already have 2 kids to start. Well really three just one is not going to live with us for a bit. I am scared that you won't get a european out or that They will start my chapter paperwork before we can fix things. I want a happy life with you anda good life with you. You promise me both and I am holding you to it. Our life better be good and happy and complete. I love you and need you. I feel you will be a good wife and mother to my kids LOL. I like you stock as well so if we have another one he/she will be healthy like our son is. I am so happy to be with you. I love you and miss you. come home safe we are doing a count down. you will be home soon so be extra safe. I am so looking forward to being here and making a life for you and our family. I hope you can handle it. If you have any doubts please pull out now. We can make it without you but I need to make things happen if I need to do that. I will admit it will be easier to do with you than without you. I am happy to be with you. Please be happy with us and work things out with me. We are doing well right now and I am happy with things as they are till we fight again because of the distance. I am surprised at how well we are working out. I am not looking else where for anyone. No one is even cute to me. I was looking at you after about a month or so away from "Wrong". Yea I was looking at you for a few fun nights. Yea I did think of cheating on Wrong with you. I was very much into how hot you looked. I could talk to you and was very into you. When things ended with "Wrong" I was kinda relived when my shock was over with. Then you were there when I need a sholder to cry on. You made me feel better and helped the healing process. I know it sounds wierd that I was crying over someone I was going to cheat on but I didn't cheat on him not the way I wanted to. You I can't even think of what it would be like to be with anyone else. Granted I miss the flirting and all that but I have the boys we do harmless flirting sometimes. Not as much as we did before though. I guess I don't feel pretty anymore. I feel fat and have more needs than I did before. My needs are to make my house a home for my kids. I want my kids to feel love and have a happy childhood. That is what I want out of life. I want someone to grow old with and share life experences with. Someone I can trust and be happy with not feel like I am pushing them someone who is my equal. I want someone who I can share things with that wouldn't be a jack ass. I need someone who will be my rock when I get flighty. Someone who will let me and pull me back in when I get to flighty. Someone I can get crazy with once in awhile and not hae them look at me like I am crazy. Someone I can show all my different parts to and they will excpept that as part of who I am and not hold it against me. Someone I can be myself with and not be afraid. That is the biggest thing I want to not be afriad anymore. Since my ex-husband I have been afriad of things in life. I use to live more before him. He made me gun shy. I still hold back from being close to you for the reason that you might still hurt me. He hurt me more than I will admit to myself. Please no lies and lets work through things as best we can. I want to know if you can deliever? Can you be all those things? Can you love the darker parts of me? Can you love all of me?

I know I don't always listen to you about things. We will work on that when you get home. As you prove more and more I am just crazy LOL. I am learning to trust you as the days go by. I don't think you are going to cheat on me as much as I use to. I am starting to feel safe with you. Which is alot for me to do after the hurt I have been throught. I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to trust you. I was kinda scared leaving you in Kuwait with Kate. I know I am being silly I knew you did have a crush on her. I know that she was looking for something and I got you and she felt I was lucky. I don't see Kate doing that but after I found out about Lowe I started to distrust people. I went through more distrust at that point and again I am sorry but you took that in step. Ok my girl is crazy. I don't know how you put up with me but you do and I love you for it. I still think you are the greatest guy in the world. I think I so lucky to have you in my life even if you don't know it. I am happy that you decieded to take a chance with me. thank you. ok well I am going to go I think I am tired. I love you)))

&Nov 3 2007 – Often times, my Ex had the tendency to take everything said about her behavior, no matter how diplomatically put, in the worst possible way, this has also not changed. It actually got MUCH MUCH WORSE.

Lo Babe.

Three days is not an unreasonable amount of time to have communications go blank. Deal with it. Durring Christmas you are not going to be able to talk to me or our daughter for a few weeks most likely. I told you when you went down range that I don't expect to be contacted but once to twice a week and for you to not expect more then that from me either.

Considering previous track records with me and long distance communications I would quit your bitching. I try to stay logged into yahoo messenger as much as possible and I answer your emails with regularity. If you choose to make the least of everything then you are going to have a very unhappy experience in Iraq. I am on the computer less then 4 to 5 hours of the day and those hours generaly only when the kids are in bed. Communication with you is starting to feel like a job and people tend to shy away from stresses when they are trying to unwind from the day.

Now I am glad that you were able to get on yahoo and inform me about the VTC because I had no idea what you were talking about in that mail. The first portion of conversation was pleasant and it was good to hear from you. The last portion of conversation was unpleasant however and could have been avoided by any of the following actions instead of throwing a tantrum. 1) "I am sorry but when I can't get ahold of you for a few days we are going to have to work out something incase I need emergency funds." 2) "Once I get my PayPal working on my account I won't have to use the one for the main account. My intentions were good and I promise I won't do something like it in the future unless it is an emergency can we talk about something else please. I want our talks to be more positive then this. I know I tell you to communicate with me but I don't want everytime I log in to turn into a bitch fest. :p. Love you babe." 3) "I realize that getting those cloths was not an emergency but my intent was to pay for them myself. I am sorry for trying to use the main account before telling you because I relize that that money goes towards food and bills. Thank you for paying for it though. I suppose that since I was planning on buying it with my own funds that when I couldn't I just didn't want to let the order time out so I tried to use the main account to pay for it. You know how skiddish I get when we don't talk. I am sorry though and I won't do it again."

Any number of responses could have worked. Instead my attempt to convey my disappointment in a constructive and not attacking way was recieved as an attack and the response was alot less constructive then any of the three above.

Me (11/3/2007 11:35:14 AM): I know you meant well but when you said you tried using my paypal but didn't know the password a flare fo anger spiked that you were trying to use it in the first place instead of asking me.
Her (11/3/2007 11:35:28 AM): I know that but since I didn't know the password I could do anything. You notce though that I don't want the password
Her (11/3/2007 11:35:35 AM): I was just doing it this once to pay for the clothes

-Start the Tantrum-

Her (11/3/2007 11:36:16 AM): You mean not hearinf from you in three days
Her (11/3/2007 11:38:48 AM): I have to go
Her (11/3/2007 11:38:55 AM): I got to get ready for guard shift
Her (11/3/2007 11:39:11 AM): I did what I had to becuase my husband didn't talk to me for 3 days
Her (11/3/2007 11:39:15 AM): next time keep talking to me
Her (11/3/2007 11:39:28 AM): I understand you yahoo messenger took a crap
Her (11/3/2007 11:39:50 AM): however I try very hard to make up for me not being there but that is not good enough I guess
Her (11/3/2007 11:40:11 AM): I will just sit here ane miss my family and do nothing but bring home money...They don't need me I guess
Me (11/3/2007 11:40:26 AM): You done?

Now I was just trying to let you know that I was displeased with you trying to take money out of the main account without making sure that I had all the bills paid and the food bought. Getting those clothes for our son was not an emergency and you should not have tried to take the money out of the account with out me knowing about it. It is the principal of the matter not the effect. The effect is that there was no harm done we had plenty of money in the account to pay for it and I did speedily and with haste once I was informed of it. The principal is what if I had decided to make a payment to Donna this paycheck or pay off more towards the car and the password was not one you did not know. My informing you that your attempt to take money from the main account before clearing it with me caused me displeasure was not an attack. The words I used were not flagrantly meant to beat you down and make you feel like dirt. They were used to impress the importance of the message I was trying to get across and to solicit a confirmation that you understood the message. The message is I have been given custody of the main account under the direction to support our family and to try to alleviate the pressure of the bills we have incurred. I can not fullfill that if I have to wonder if the amount of funds in my account is the true amount or if you may have bought something and it hasn't shown up yet. It is not an attack it is an admonishment letting you know not to do so in the future. If you did not notice all the times I buy something not dirrectly related to fullfilling the above stated purpose I still clear through you even though I control the main account. I asked to buy isk and I let you know I was starting up wow but that I was using a trial account and that someone else was going to pay the first month of it. I also strive to let you know the bills I have paid after I pay them.

If your response to constructive communication is to throw a tantrum then that is going to make me desire to communicate with you less. I know that you desire to hear from me everyday and that you would like every single one of your emails replied to. I am sorry for not responding to all of your emails but answering your emails stresses me out at times as well. I am on the computer generally only from 21 to 00 and then sometimes I am not on at all.

Well I suppose I will keep the sweet and the sour seperate.

To Be Cont.

Lo Babe,

I have come to realize something that I am truly sorry for. The vast majority of our correspondences have been about business or to answer a specific question. I haven't actually taken the time to just sit down and let you know that I still care.

I love you with the whole of my heart and miss you everyday.

The softness of your loving caress upon my skin when I am sad.
The tender kisses stolen in the tender moments.
Your smiles that light your face when we play.
The warmth of your lips upon me.

So many things I miss while you play in the sandbox.

*Smiles*

You are in my thoughts as I lay in bed awake at night. Not thoughts of worry or discord but of remembrances and longings. Thoughts that mist my eyes.

I do not worry for your safety for my love brings you back to me safely. A soft velvety presence that wraps is self around you sheltering you from harm. The thoughts I have dwell not on the present or future but of past. A sense of loss dances in my heart at these times, not a permanent loss just an out of place one.

This deployment isn't as hard on me for stubborn like a mountain I am and firm in my conviction that you will return to me safe and unharmed. But your presence is missed, and I do love you. I fear more how you hold up mentally in these times as unlike me your mind more fragile and the sense of loss stings you more. I have only lost my companion for a short time and know she will make her way back to me. You poor child have lost your companion, your son, your daughter and your home. That centering place from which you draw your strength. So I have come to let you know that it is still here awaiting your return with smiles and hugs.

We love you.
We miss you.

I love you.
I miss you.

Have faith in me and I shall not let you down. *Smiles* I am your mountain and your strength. And though you have traveled vast distances like a mountain I rise up into the air so that all you have to do is look over your shoulder to see me and smile in remembrances of your home.

I wish you well on this sojourn.

Your love.
Donny.

& We fought so much, and so often, or rather I tried talking rationally about her behaviors that were detrimental to us as a couple, and she would decide to take it the wrong way and start a fight. Finances were one of our biggest issues, she placed me in charge of ensuring that the household ran smoothly, and that the kids were taken care of, but she constantly and impulsively shopped. She would buy things for the kids, like toys, or snacks and treats. She would buy things for herself, like books and movies, or games, or electronic toys. She would start something major like school, and not follow through, costing the house needlessly, she would pressure me into some financial decisions I was leery of, the worst one the both of us are responsible for is Direct Buy, unless you are rich, avoid them like the plague.

Also, the email exchanges between me and her, any form of written communication for that matter, is generally FAR more pleasant on the receiving end, then the general culture and atmosphere I was exposed to. She did continue cutting strings, and tried desperately hard to push me and my affections away, so she could have her “proof”. I took the abuse all in stride, I cooked for the parties I would be ridiculed and humiliated at, (Well I would have felt humiliated if I was a normal person, mostly I felt annoyed at the necessity of it, for her to feel loved) as she demasculinated me, called me names, made crude jokes at my expense, and otherwise demonstrated that she had the man of her dreams, because she could do all this and get away with it, because she found someone that she could finally prove to herself loved her, by the very mistreatment of him, and his lack of going anywhere or general complaint at the time. I eventually did have to ask her to tone it down years later, it was just getting too old, and was starting to make me resent her. I also, took the physical disconnect as best I could, it really is an essential part of me, and under the constant mental and verbal abuse, I had to keep my Apathetic Shell intact in order to not have a breakdown.

& November 24, 2007 - It is true, that as the strain of the near constant negativity of my situation got to me, and I shut down, so did my desire for communication beyond what was necessary to function. She felt the strain of this, but when almost anything conversation that goes on for long enough degrades into a temper-tantrum and conflict, because nothing ever changed, it inspires a lack of desire to... well... communicate.

(((I have been reading your old e-mails to me. You use to use such pretty words. They entered my soul and made me see you as someone I can see myself with. You don't use those word anymore. Now that you have me your no longer all lovey dovey. You are all business. We talked about my fears of you and now I am not so scared you don't talk like that anymore. Where those words only to get me to marry you? Well I am married to you now you win. I also am not as scared anymore about you walking/running away from me. We have a family I think you like your place in it. You are so domastic where I am not. I think sometimes I don't say thank you enough. I love you though. Thank you for being a good wife. Thank you for being a mountain in the storm that is my life.)))

*Smiles*

The words are always there lovely. Just family life
does not afford the downtime nessisary to let them
pour from my soul on to the paper.

*A faint smile brushes his lips with a slight hit of
mischief and with a movement of his and light seems to
condense and dance like fae folk swirling around until
finially the start to merge into a flowery image held
in his hand. The lights fade and all that remains is
a rose. Deep and dark in color to suite the somber
yet still loving mood*

When the souls speaks it is with a passion held by a
flood gate. My words wash over you like a warm breeze
soft, carressing, comforting. *Smiles his half smile
as he grabs your chin to force your gaze to his* I
love you truly lady. May my words be like a soft
inviting kiss when you need it. For I am yours and
you are mine. *Winks*.

Love you.

&She was right, she didn't say thank you enough, and didn't fully appreciate all the things I did for her back then, she really did just bring home the paycheck, and then mostly check out, I think we both did, she should have put forth the effort to undo the damage she had done, repair us, but she didn't. I never lost the love though, the affection, the caring.
