Chris and I have always had a complicated relationship. We met on a plane in Denver and less than six hours later we were in a hotel room together. Did we fall in love at first sight? Lust maybe.....I think that's the basis for most of our problems. I couldn't stay away from him when I was married to another man. And obviously when I was single again I still couldn't stay away from him.
When we married this time I had this idyllic vision in my head. We were both grown up, we were both settled, we were going to make things work without a problem. Hahahah, yeah, I know, like I said it was an idyllic vision....make that FANTASY!
Chris has been stewing about something the past couple of days and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I've done wrong. And then I find out it has absolutely nothing to do with me, or our marriage, or our family. Instead he's fretting because Pam's son Craig decided to ditch school to go backpacking through Europe for the next few months.
Now I know Craig's Dad was Chris' best friend. I'd be more of a fool if I didn't recognize that there's a special place in his heart for the boy. But all the same Craig has a mother, two in fact. And a father. And a grandfather and a few dozen other relatives. I just don't understand why Chris needs to be involved with any of the decisions.
But he's friends with Pam too. And maybe that's the problem. Chris and I broke up the first time because of his problems with fidelity. I'm not saying I'm a saint where that's concerned, butI cheated on Joe with Chris, there's never been any other man. But Chris can certainly lay claim to hundreds of other women probably.
And even though I recognize that Pam is deeply in love with her husband ( my ex!), I still wonder if there's something going on between her and my husband.
I told you it was complicated.
