Day #4b…Now we’re getting somewhere

    While I was still in the Navy, I had a roommate who was a lesbian, we were good friends first and then began a relationship that lasted 5 years. She was a good person and I hope shes found someone to spend her life with.

   I had gotten out of the Navy while she and I were still together and had a couple of flings with married men that never lasted more than a few incidents. I was working for a military government contractor and began dating my boss while I was still with my roommate…we had both mutually agreed we were drifting apart emotionally although I suspect it was mostly me that wanted out of the relationship. My boss and I dated for only a month and on April Fools day….we took the day off and got married. He had just gotten custody of his 5 month old daughter from a previous relationship…mother was married…put baby up for adoption…father went to court to get custody. All kinds of warning signs going up at this point. I didn’t care tho…he took over every part of my life before we ever even moved in together…I think we’d dated only a handful of times before he took over my finances…but FINALLY ….someone was taking care of me. We had 2 more kids shortly after getting married and even tho the controlling behavior was slowly starting to chip way at me…we were relatively happy.  He made me quit working…I was an aircraft mechanic for 13 years and I loved it…to stay home with the kids and I think this was the fatal mistake…I was NOT a happy stay at home mom! He let me do home daycare to earn a little money…I hated this and I hated being home all day. I missed all my work friends….I had no other friends…but they were all male friends which was a big no no to my hubby. I’ve always had male friends instead of female ones…I don’t relate well to most women…Im too cynical, layed back and I don’t get involved in gossip & such.

    Anyway…once we got a computer 6 years into our marriage…I discovered the world of the Internet…and I embraced it like a long lost lover! It was my connection with the outside world. We did go to church for a while built I don’t think my husband was really into it and I never felt like I fit in….I believe in God, the Bible and Jesus but religion doesn’t sit well with me.
