Marriage/Divorce

We were married on June 9,1967. Reality hits hard when you live in a fantasy, happily ever after world like I did. While Billy could write, he couldn't talk. I wanted to be with someone that constantly revealed their feelings and thoughts to me. I loved romance novels and soap operas. This marriage was not what I thought it should be. We fought(need I say more). Most young couples soon understand the shock of marriage verses dating. Ours was worse because I came from a divorced family. I wanted Billy to make up for everything that my father's absense had created in my needy heart. We did everything that couples do to distract themselves from reality. We had a baby and bought a house. That should make everything normal,right? After 5 years of this, we agreed to separate. This continued long enough that we couldn't stand each other and I filed for divorce. The divorce proceedings just produced more fighting. The marriage was dead.
