This Sucks 9-23-25

 Well, I'm back on this blog after being away for 12 years.  I thought those 12 years away were happy years, at least they were from my perspective.  But they were not from the point of view of my wife.  I come back to this spot a broken and humble man.  My life is experiencing a low point of which I've only experienced one other point before. This time I think it's even lower because of the joy I experienced recently.  So why even write/journal about it?  My therapist recommended that I journal my experience.  I know in times past several of my readers reached out directly to me letting me know that I played a part in helping save their marriages.  So if I can help just one other person through my anguish, I'll take it.   Currently, I am a separated from my family and I HATE it.  I miss them dearly and am not good at living alone.  I'm not going to offer any salacious details as to what led to my separation nor am I going...

Divorce rates in India

What a great great great day I had. Why was it great? Im not really sure. Nothing very consequential happened. Its just that I feel like God’s hand is on my every move. I know there are tons of people out there praying for me. That is such a great feeling. I feel like Im on the spiritual war front lines. So you might have noticed that I was really down.

Well…I did take it slow the first time around in marriage, a three-year courtship and engagement, and look how that turned out. So taking it slow isn’t always the way.

Day 4.5 An Arabic Strip Bar

By -
Let me preface this that in my motel the only place i can get internet access is the lobby. So i write these blogs in there. The night before I noticed quite a few Saudi's going into what looked like a club. You can tell they were Saudi's because their gutra (headpiece) was red checkered, which is distinctive in only Saudi Arabia. All others wear white...with the exception of maybe Palestine where they are black checked (think Yasser Arafat). So I was curious. So tonight when I was writing in the Blog, there was a Bahranian also in the lobby smoking, drinking, and talking loudly on his cell phone. Arabs are standoffish at first, but once you make the first move in terms of communication they are extremely friendly and hospitable. But again, you have to initiate the conversation. So asked what was the deal with all the Saudi's. He went onto explain that the Saudi's come to the club and drink and drink and drink. He said they drink beer and whisky like water. P...
