We had our differences. For most couples they would have been irreconcilable, but we always muddled through.
It’s all about compromise. Sure, his job kept him busy, away from home a lot. Maybe that helped. We weren’t living under each other’s feet for forty years.
Then I found out it wasn’t his job that kept him busy on the road so much. It was more the second wife and the other son and daughter he had.
Well, he’s on the road again now, what remains of him. On his way to visit them again. Hope I got the address right.
