Venn Diagrams

I have come to the conclusion that our marriage is more of a Venn Diagram these days. There is only a tiny bit where life intersects and we see each other.

The more successful hubby becomes, the more demands are made of him, the more he travels - the less we see him. I just miss him.

He has a great job which challenges and excites him and he is well respected professionally. I have to be there to support and maybe one day rejoin the teaching profession.

We have been together for a long time and married a long time. In fact I knew the moment I saw him I was to marry this man. I was 19 but it took 6 years to wear the frock. I called my mother to inform her but she probably thought it was just a thing I would say.

My husband is a lovely person who can be infuriating at times but can't we all? He cares, he's funny, he's a very interactive father and he's mine.

As the children get more challenging there are times when I wish I had my partner- in -crime to discuss this all with or at least help me fill out the West Point application for the younger one.

We just have to relish the time we do have together whenever that may be. I did see him over Skpe this morning for a few minutes so at least I saw him.

See you soon.
