The divorce

My wife and I are getting a divorce. We agreed to sell the house and split the proceeds 50/50. When it came time to write two separate checks it was a few hundred thousand dollars and 87 cents. The lady asked who gets the extra penny. Who gets the extra penny. After 33 years of marriage that's what it comes down to, the extra penny. Kids grown, nothing too complicated. When we were still living in the same house together i heard her downstairs talking to the cops. She was telling them I can't take it anymore I'm filing for divorce. I was so tired so stressed out so frustrated I really didn't think what she was saying. One of the cops said wow 33 years that's a long time. Think about what cops do. They put their life on the line every day every day they go out there and do the best they can do. Sometimes you have to take a life sometimes they lose their life. Other times they say a comforting word to help someone who is making a tough decision.

Why didn't we get help? Why didn't we seek counseling? Sometimes the party of the first part and the party of the second part just don't see it the same. You keep thinking we're going to grow closer we're going to start seeing things the same we're going to fall in love all over again. Sometimes it just doesn't happen

Sometimes it just doesn't happen

There's no one waiting in the wings for either one of us. You look out at the world and you're just tired. You want to go for some long walks. Sit on some park benches and relax.
