Have written lots and lots about my late ex-husband in different places over the years but I'll try to write a little summary about how he made me happy and why I left him....
Spiritually, my husband inspired me before we got married because he had changed his life a lot and he had a good heart for helping people.... Emotionally and intellectually, my husband had a charming personality--when he was in a good mood--and he was very intelligent; and he gave me quite a lot of moral support, at different times.... Physically, he was tall and had broad shoulders, and he was handsome, in my opinion (he had kind of a bushy beard but he kept it clean and reasonably well-groomed, I'd say--not like some of the beards today!). My husband was a licensed auto mechanic and knew how to fix and build a lot of things; and he was working as a youth worker at a native Indian community centre for part of the time that we were married.
The school where I met my husband-to-be was like a small commune on a farm.... (It's another story to tell what kind of a place it was...!) I went there soon after leaving England and didn't get any therapy in between but I was doing fairly well at this school, at first.... I started getting stressed because the school management started interfering in my relationship, or friendship, with my husband-to-be.... It was hard for me to understand what was expected because my husband-to-be and I were just acting normal; and at the school, we were all just Christian people who were confined to a fairly small space.... It's not like my husband-to-be and I were going off by ourselves and making out in the woods, or anything...! Our behaviour was completely proper, in my opinion; and there were communication problems between the management and myself.... My husband-to-be and I could've left the school right away and done our own thing but I was afraid of his drinking problem coming back....
