Dear Cathy:
I made a big mistake over 15 years ago. I had a beautiful wife but after a few years
of being married, she started gaining weight and eventually ended up weighing over
400 pounds. So basically I left her by
moving away from my town because of her weight problem. However, now 15 years later, I realized this
woman was the best mate that I ever had.
I have never been able to find another good mate since I
left this woman. When I was home
visiting relatives the other day - I saw her and boy does she look great! My cousin told me she is divorced with one
child. Would I be shallow if I tried to
get to know her again or would I be crazy to think she would give me the time
of day? Shallow in Texas
Dear Shallow:
It’s unfortunate that it
took you all these years to appreciate your former wife. Yes she will probably call you shallow and
you deserve it. However, don’t worry because
many men (and even women) make this same mistake.
They have a good partner –
one who is loving, kind, honest and totally devoted to them, however, many
people think that the pasture is always greener on the other side. But when they leave their mates, they realize
that they had the perfect person the entire time.
There is no greener pastures
and if you were lucky enough to walk down the aisle with Mrs. (or Mr.) Right, then
you need to be there for that person to help them lose their weight. Marriage is about devotion to each other so
instead of walking out of a completely sound marriage, you should have really
figured out what you needed to do to help your wife lose the weight.
She might be excited to see
you but the bottomline is, she, her relatives and friends will never forget
what you did. Even if you get back together with her – she will probably
never love you like she did in the past.
