This Above All

Sdtrack: "I have burned all my tomorrows....."

Always Remember....
You must be true to yourself first.
To do otherwise places all else in dischord.




I could wax poetic about my marriage ending but I won't.

"There are no rules to this thing."

I chose not to waste any more of my wife's time in a relationship I was less committed to than her in several areas. Some might deem this callous but in reality what was the alternative? We continue on in a state of continual degradation of what was once a spirited romance but is left a shell of its former glory?

I simply felt it was time for me to move on and not delay the same result I saw coming whether now or 4 years from now.

We will both be better for it in the long run, this much I painfully know.

I did what I always told myself I would if married and and I woke up to find myself unhappy....I would give it 6 months, and if still the arguing was more than the love, if the time spent feeling distant was more commonplace than the time spent in one another's arms....it was unequivocally time to leave.

It is as simple as that.

My thoughts on the institution of marriage are uniformly simple as well: the nature of the institution warps the dynamics most commonly instinctual to men and women especially considering the power differential and change of gender identity currently transforming the legally punitive landscape of marriage and family.

I blame an institution which requires nothing less than perfection or the changing of natural impulses to meet those expectations so profoundly deep that you're no longer the person you were before enterting into the contract.
