You tell her that you love her and you're kissing someone new on the sly while she's waiting for you to come home. You tell her that you love her yet your words and deeds tell a different story. First things first, start with loving yourself You told her that you loved her only to flee when the going got tough running off with your mistress waiting in the wings So much for... for better or worse Funny, what you think... is love.

so true for some... I never got this side of people...I mean if you aren't happy at home why not walk away instead of the selfish double life...is it greed? some want all they can get? afraid to lose money that comes with divorce? good write Edward! hugs

Thank you, Sandra:-) People are like jigsaw puzzles. One half easy to solve, the other half leave you flummoxed looking for pieces to complete them, teeheehee!
