I have been married for forty five years. I made a personal vow when I was around fourteen years old that I would never be divorced. If I had to live on the East Coast and my wife had to live on the West Coast, I would do that. My father raised me to put all women on a pedestal as a gift from God.
I went on a blind date with my gorgeous trophy wife on May third and we were married on June twenty eighth. It wasn't totally a blind date because I remembered my wife's face as a little girl a year behind me in elementary school. Our families knew of each other in our small rural community and her Dad had been on the Local Board of Trustees for the elementary school.
The people you describe are horrible examples of humanity. It mystifies me to think how anyone could choose to live like that.
I did find some pertinent facts in another article:
Mastin was a Tulane Law student, according to an email from Tulane University obtained by WWL-TV.So, as I had hoped the Sheriff is not the last word.The woman has been released without charges and once the investigation is complete, results will be given to the Jefferson Parish DA's office for review, according to the sheriff's office.
My wife and I are of the same opinion regarding divorce. My wife knew that ahead of time - which is why I think she gave me some extra time before asking her to marry her - it was a huge decision! (And it takes me 2 months of research to buy a new toaster.)
My old man told me when we were dating “Don’t lose her. And if you do - it will be YOUR fault.”
Next year will be our 30th.
I have been helping her of late as she helps some elderly neighbors as well as her mom get through some medical issues. One of the neighbors’ nosy friends asked them who wear the pants in our family. I guess helping your wife out doing chores at the elderly neighbor’s home means I’m a wimp.
I get to spend time with my wife and help out the neighbors. Beats sitting at home watching football alone ‘cuz your wife ran out on you. (As is the nosy guy’s case.)
The neighbor lady did stick up for us. “Well - any decision she makes she usually runs it by her husband.”
