Adult Blogger: TUG JOBS was talking about was the check she got for alimony each month from Paul, her ex. They had it all. The two of them together twenty some years, two kids. Mitzi, a former teacher, stayed home, being Minivan Mom. Paul had a big career with a foreign airline, gone four days out of seven. The big surprise, late last year. Being transferred home, (the two are European born) Paul announced he's going alone. There is and has been someone else outside of Munich. Has been for years. Mitzi, sitting stunned on our couch, Marie's (my wife) arms around her, me serving a very light dinner that night.
You spend that much of your life with your mate, then he drops a bomb, it's traumatic. You just don't blindside people. Maybe it could have been worked out. I don't know. Marie knows more than I about the details, but she will keep a confidence. I don't broach it, neither does she.
Mitzi had been recovering pretty well, I noticed. Her sunniness was returning. She was exercising and was working on a nursing degree. She knew Wednesdays was my half days and invited me in for some lunch. Her idea of lunch involved a lot of diet things, which runs counter to my beliefs.
