A peom by Mickie500

Faithful (Tears)

My tears are faithful

They never leave me wanting

Whenever I summon them

They come prepared

They fill Up my eyes

And if it is safe, they sprint down my face In a maddening rush

Gather at my chin

then they leap off

and land gently on my blouse

My tears are dependable

They lie in wait

Ready to release me

(If only for a moment)

Sometimes they summon

My gut to engage

if they need the reinforcement of sound

that can only come from the pit of my stomach

My tears are created in my gut and yet they have my back

Sometimes they take center stage and silence everything In my body

They subpoena my nerves, cells, and bones

And like a conductor they hold everything in suspension

Until they decide to move in silence

And they gently cascade from my eyes

so tender, that sometimes

I’m unaware that they have been there for me

That they have been delivering me from a silent pain that needed to be liberated

My tears never run out

They remain

in joy and pain

They don’t question- they sequester

they don’t ponder- they don’t fester

They don’t resent- they present

They don’t fluctuate-they alleviate

They don’t switch up- they show up

every time

They are faithful

The thing is, I know I’d be ok without him. It’s the being ok WITH him that is taking work....

From HouseOfPlane:

...we all live an arranged marriage. In my case, it was arranged by two hormone-fueled 20-somethings who had no clue about anything.

From Karmafan re: a thread on profound loneliness.

Boom 💥!!

Every day I think of re-joining a dating app, to numb the pain, the hollowness, but then I remember why I am doing this and I push through. Because I want to get to a place of self-love, where a relationship feels like a choice and not a last chance saloon.

From Buffer

Most of all she will expect you to change for her unicorn fart land mind palace.

I've been laughing out loud for a while just trying to visualize what this palace might look like and all the while feeling certain that NTV might have the blue prints.

I think many of us have come to find out that our spouses who we thought were real, authentic, self-actualized people were not much more than a bunch of maladaptive coping mechanisms stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat

From Jorge, and it doesn't matter what thread it comes from, because it fits in multitudes of contexts:

I appreciate the fact that she had a rough childhood but it shouldn't come at the expense of you having a rough adulthood.

You can bullshit yourself, you can bullshit your OW, and your can bullshit your wife, but you have to wake up pretty early in the morning to bullshit SI.

Thank you Bluerthanblue

From gmc94

Mowing the lawn can become it's own form of therapy... think of the grass as tiny cheater penises you are cutting off!

A "perfect marriage" is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

Eventually she's going to be left with her least favorite person- herself. Really, that's the best revenge....

From Chaos in a thread about Karma in general. It’s not a direct quote because she added personal comment to OP. It has helped me in so many situations. Again adjusted slightly.

The view from the high road is spectacular

Thanks Chaos!

From RealityBlows in General, under Compartmentalize the A. Great description of Unicorn Fart Land vs. Reality:

That alternate reality they create (The Affair Bubble) conveniently shields them from their conscience and creates a wonderfully romantic, although morally ambiguous, environment complete with soft focus, glamour glow, cinematic slow motion, key lighting, and background music from Des'ree or Pink Mountain Tops set in an illicit, dark, fatalistic, forbidden fruit noir and where your AP looks like Kevin Costner or Diane Lane.

And then they come home to us, Le chateau of deferred maintenance, screaming kids, bills on the counter, and meatloaf-again.

I'm not sure I'm laughing at this, but plainsong said this, just after watching a TV commercial:

'I don't know how I'm going to live another 20 years with the way they're murdering our language.'

Really, commercials get more illiterate every year....

I know it's been said before, but I still love it. Applies to both BS's looking back on divorce and WS's looking back at AP's:

Ya know what, the grass is only greener over the septic tank.

From annb...in the General Forum...about Trickle Truth:

The affair stabbed us in the back, the TT was twisting the knife over and over and over keeping us bleeding and bleeding in pain.
