Thirteen Years Ago, I Was Almost Divorced.
(NOTE: Based on time elapsed since the posting of this entry, the BS-o-meter calculates this is 13.266% likely to be something that Ferrett now regrets.)
My wife recounts what our divorce was almost like, in a beautiful essay written on our fifth anniversary, back when we had just gotten out of the worst of it.
Thanks to my blogging, a lot of people sort of idolize the relationship I’ve forged with Gini. And it is a great relationship. But there was a time when it wasn’t, and we struggled with everything, and I’m proud of what we’ve wrought and yet trepidatious that people think our love came out of nowhere.
We fought a lot. We fight a lot. We steer this relationship hard. And my wife knows how bad things got, which is why we both cherish what we have now.
Fifteen years. Damn. Still a little weirded out by that one.
