The Way We Were … or so I Thought

It sure seemed like a fairy tale come true. Not too good to be true, but the way I thought a relationship between a man and woman would be if they truly loved each other.  I always worked under the assumption we were on the same page.  It didn’t seem made up and was reinforced each day.  Something like you’ll see here:

Was I naive? It seems so. I guess I wanted to believe too much in what I thought we had.  After all, we were friends right?

When we moved to Westfield, she said she didn’t want to have sex. She felt fat and not attractive. Well, I didn’t marry her just because of sex so I said I understood.  On several occasions she said to me that she wanted to be a “Carmel housewife” but that never happened. (Probably something like a Stepford wife.)

I had always preached to others not to be gullible. I guess I didn’t follow my own advice.
