Divorcing Favre

You have been married to a wonderful woman for the last 13 years or so. She was a former Beauty Queen and although her legs aren’t as they once were, they certainly don’t look bad.

You look at her and try to think of at least 15 women who you would rather have. Of course, having someone new would certainly be fun, but with your wife you know exactly what you have. She knows you inside and out; she knows how to make you happy—or at least the spirit is willing. Sure, she may burn the dinner once in a while (though lately it seems like more often than not), but she is in this marriage to the end. She knows what it takes to keep you satisfied and she does it with gusto.

To you, she is very, very sexy. She still has that youthful exuberance, a desire to please her man, and a right arm that just doesn’t quit. (You could tell I need to get some, huh?)

Throughout your marriage, she has pretty much kept to herself, never wanting to ruffle feathers. She is starting to voice her opinions now, but she is doing that out of frustration more than anything else. She needs to know her family still needs her and supports her. Without her having that supporting cast, she will most certainly encounter failure—which is something she is not used to at all.

You see, before she came along, you were nothing but a big windbag. You were living on your laurels, always talking about what was—never about what will be. She picked you up by your bootstraps, made you believe in the present and handed you the best years of your life.

Your buddy is telling you to let her go—live it up; you’re better off without her. I say don’t do it. Don’t listen to Adam Schein.

Instead, seek counseling.
