Dec 22, 2003 As I was saying in part one, I tried to be considerate and loving, but that meant nothing to this woman. She was out for herself, and no one else. I'm trying to make a point here, but it just can't be summed up in a few words. So I continue... As the next year went on, she was continuing to distance me from my large group of friends and family. To me, friends and family are important to me. One example of this was gift giving. I love to give gifts to people, small or large, it didn't matter, it felt good to give. Birthday's, Christmas, it didn't matter. She would say gift giving was a waste of money and time. It's not like we didn't have the money, she just didn't want to waste it. I must say, it was a stupid reason, and I was an idiot for listening. Yes, I admit it, I was a big SAP, but I was blinded by love, or so it seamed. There was no love in this girls heart, just what I believe was anger. Anger towards, I can just assume, was everyone she came in contact with. I'm a friendly guy and can make friends very easily. It's just my way. As the years went on, our relationship began to deteriorate rapidly. I won't go into the details of what else did or didn't happen, but hopefully you get the picture. One Saturday afternoon, after a full day at work, I came home and asked SD what she wanted to do. She wanted to go "Up North" to New Hampshire for the day. I said, "Fine, let me get cleaned up and we'll go. Well, that was all I needed to say. She said, I've been sitting here all day waiting, now I have to wait even more?" Then she said, "I'm going out, without you" She made a phone call, and told, whoever was on the other end, to pick her up. Within five minutes, a car pulled up, and she was gone. That was around two in the afternoon. At around one in the morning she returned. I waited up for her, thinking the worst. She came into the bedroom and told me, "The people I met at a bar tonight told me to leave you" I was in shock. I said, "What people, strangers?" Because not only did she distance me from my friends, but she had no friends at all. So, she left. Where she is now, I have no clue, and I really don't care. The reason I wrote this story is simple. Yes it's true, and I was an idiot I admit it. But since that four years of Hell, I've been Blessed with some much. I met the love of my life. She encourages my work and my strange habits, and there are many. We have three great Nieces, who love us, for no other than who we are. And the most important reason for this article, as Christmas draws near, is the giving. We donate to numerous charities and our Church. This may sound strange to a lot of people out there, but giving does benefit all of us. The more we give the more we get back. You may not believe me, but we want for nothing these days. We're not rich, and we may not have as much as other people out there do, but we're happy, and we have everything we will probably ever need. I'm not telling anyone what to do, but this Holiday season, please try giving what you can, it will make you feel so much better, you won't believe it. PS.........Every once in a while, SD calls and wonders how I'm doing. I tell her I'm doing fantastic, and everything is great. She tells me that things are not going that well for her. Inside, I'm so happy she's having a rough go of it, but Elaine always tells me not to wish bad things on anyone. And at that moment, I kinda feel sorry for the "She Devil" who scared me fo life. But still, inside I'm dancing for joy. I'm sorry, but I am. From all of us
here at Useless-Knowledge Magazine and Elaine and I Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
