Ex-Wives
Let me tell you what I know about Ex-Wives. I've got too many.
Don't get me wrong, I liked all of them. I liked them when I married
them and I liked them when they were gone. All of the ex-wives get
along with me just fine. I even have a picture of the three of them
together. I call it the First wives club photo meeting without the
chairman of the board, if you know what I mean. All of the ex-wives
talk to me and I even have dinner with them on occasion, although
not all together. We also share info about our families when news
changes. It's just as easy to have a friendship after the marriage, as
it is to have a hateful relationship and be at each other's throat.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to re-marry any of them, but I
did like them before I married them, and why not treat them the
same way today. Many people don't understand my relationship
with the ex's, especially the mother-in-laws of their present marriages.
That really doesn't bother me because I know where my heart lies,
and maintaining stability with the ex's makes more sense than not.
The children enjoy a respectable relationship without fussing and
fighting or name calling. The wives that I didn't have children with,
I don't see or speak to them often. When I do see them, they
are very cordial and more than likely glad that they are not still with
me. Did I mention that I have put on a few pounds over the years?
The mother of my children is very pleasant, intelligent, and willing
to talk about the children. We are not as close in our private lives,
but when it comes to the children, we are on the same track most
of the time. I think I am better friends with the ex's now than when
I was married to them. Maybe it shouldn't be called marriage. Maybe
it should be called friendship time for life. I guess the day will come
when marriage will not be called for, but personally I enjoyed marriage.
I could always get a woman, just couldn't always keep them. I did
develop some solid friendships along the way and trust me, true
friendship is hard to find, especially a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
It just seems a shame that you have to marry and divorce them to
discover that they would make great life time friends.
