Inhuman Nature

It is interesting, in the study of relationships, how a pair of individuals, bound together in marriage, can be completely different unbinding in divorce.

One can only stare and wonder in abject amazement, where, from humble beginnings, such hedonistic and self-indulgent tendencies were given rise from. These deeply disturbing sociopathic tendencies that slowly dissolved not only the nature of the relationship as it had once formed and grown, but also the very substance of the person that once had been the closest person to me in my entire life.

Sadly the observable trend continued to deteriorate into a state of sustained alcohol-induced paranoia and wildly delusional behavior. I can only imagine that mine is not the only story out there, nor is it the worst of its kind. It is, however, much more than I can bear to deal with.

It is, therefore, with great sadness that I choose to end this relationship, not for the bleak emotional wreckage that it has become, but for all of the great and vast potential it once had that has since been consumed by intemperance, self-gratification, glib indifference, erratic behavior, contradictory thinking, and constant drunkenness, all of which, of course, are vehemently denied.

I turn my back in disdain and move forward, alone, into a better life.
