Posted by Been There on 6/26/2006, 9:32 pm, in reply to "Re: wedding" I gave my partner and his bride a Christian book on husband/wife communication and the Five Languages of Love. To this day, I don't think his wife likes me. I don't think she knows how often I tell him to leave the station and go home to be with his wife and children. They have been married for over 5 years...and I pray they never divorce.
John,
A very good friend of mine was married 3 weeks after D-day. I didn't want to go but he was my partner on the ambulance and helped me out during my husband's 'confused' time. He never told me to throw in the towel. He listened and always encouraged me to keep fighting....(even though I didn't know what I was fighting against.)
We didn't go to the wedding but we went to the reception. My husband REALLY didn't want to go because he was ashamed of himself...because they were my co-workers and they knew he did me wrong.
My partner was very happy I made it. The guys on the department did a world of good for my self-confidence. They oooed and ahhhed over me. They let my husband know how hot I looked in my black leather dress (they usually see me in work clothes and boots.) I always feel strong when I am around fellow workers. We are a close knit group.
Later that evening when we got home, my husband cried because he wished he had my trust and my love. He wished I could laugh with him like how I laughed with my co-workers. He wished I would blush when he paid me a compliment, instead of second guessing his honesty.
