[Congressman Billybob]

Very few of my columns are this personal. But this one must be. Any of y'all who are friends of Kemberly can post answers to her on FR, to "Felicity Fahrquar."

Sorry to hear it Billybob.

[JennysCool]

Good luck to you both.

Certainly hope the financing of the place is on the up-and-up.

[Jeff Chandler]

Well, women come and women go, but a good chef...

[ActionNewsBill]

Isn't there any way you could move along with her? It seems like your career as a writer could be continued from anywhere.

Anyways, best of luck to you both.

[Tijeras_Slim]

You're a better man than me, Billybob.

[HitmanLV]

Would you, should you, leave your husband/wife if the chance of a lifetime – the chance of several lifetimes – came along?

No.

[SmithL]

I wish you both well.

[johnny7]

Does she need a good line-chef?

[TheDon]

Would you, should you, leave your husband/wife if the chance of a lifetime – the chance of several lifetimes – came along?

It all depends on what is most valued by the individual. For me, my wife and children are the chance of several lifetimes!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Sorry to hear this, but no I would not go anywhere my wife would not go. She has followed me to Europe and Africa, but I turned down an ASA job in Turkey because dependents couldn't go We were only engaged at the time and the assignment would guarantee I would not go to Vietnam.

Just a question, though: why aren't you in Samoa?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Good luck to both of you.

[Full Court]

That's so sad.

My condolences.

John, while I like your posts and writings, I think you may regret later having this posted online.

I can understand writing something to work though difficult issues. But divorces are hard enough, and putting it out there in public while it's happening - even in such a civilized, rational post as yours - can't make it any easier.

I hope you can find a way to keep your marriage together. It is too important a thing to let a job or distance destroy it - even an incredible distance. Good luck.

Aw, she'll get to missing your rapier wit, subtle charm and Adonis-like features and come running back.....




And if she doesn't, I'm sure there's plenty out there willing to call themselves Mrs Billybob

[Rakkasan1]

good luck. I hope it stays amicable.whenever money,kids, or revenge are involved, it never does for long.

If you made a list of the reasons why any couple got married, and another list of the reasons for their divorce, you'd have a hell of a lot of overlapping. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960

Sorry to hear this Billybob. No fret man, there will be more ladies than you can shake a stick at in the future, but I know you won't want to hear that now. In years to come, you also are likely to find out there was more to this whole thing than you now might think.

So take a good dose of skeptical scotch and keep it on hand brother, and hang in there, the best is yet to come
in finding THE woman!

I really enjoy reading all of your postings and I hope to keep seeing them here as you go through this transition!

[kayak]

You both have my prayers. May God bless you and keep you!

[kayak]

fyi

John:
Everyone will have his two - or maybe three - cents to toss in, but I'm sorry you're going through this. The breakup of most marriages is something to be mourned.
Best of luck, and hang in there.
