The Wedding of the X-wife
Before you double check my gender...let me tell you that I am female, married and on a never ending quest to find the true meaning of being a happy hippy homemaker. Before I was married, I had a hetro-life partner for years. We were called many things in our time together, the Porno girls, NM, the Odd Couple...but in my heart I knew that she was my little friend who was my house wife. She would bake, clean, and go out with me weekly to the movies.
It was fun to have her around a while. She was the one person in the world who would tell me that "those pants don't look good with that shirt...But try this sweater with it". She would cut and color my hair. We would bring dates over to house and know that the other would have to make a quick escape. On Sunday nights...she would make her dinner, and bake. There were many dares that were made with the promise of a "whole dollar" after it was completed. We both dated terrible men, and laughed and joked about it often.
The X-wife came to see me get married and see me off to another phase in my life. It was a sad day to know that Divorce was final and there was not going to be another Reunion. In April The X and her new beau showed up at my home sweet crap shack and announced that they were going to get married. I was so happy for her we made a trip to a bridal gown shop and purchased the wedding dress.
Finally last weekend the X-wife and I reunited for the last time and had a sleep over in a hotel room, eating doughnuts at midnight, drinking diet cokes, Curling her hair, getting our fashionable best out for the next morning, and watching the tube and making fun of everything on it. That was it, we were never going to be the porno girls again with out dragging around our significant others or kiddies. I was ready for it.
After dancing to "It's Raining Men," and "Just Like Heaven" I passed the X-wife on. I had been fed, and danced all night, and then X-wife and I said good bye. I turned to her significant other and asked "Hey I know that she is my X-wife but it WAS a amicable divorce, and I was just making sure we can still be friends...It could be like Bruce and Demi, ya know?" We'll hear from her when she gets back from the Honeymoon.

Ha ha, I remember her, the one with blonde blond hair. She came to Thanksgiving at our house one year and we watched a John Mayer concert DVD, after which she said, "he's so dreamy." She was nice.
Sigh. I have quite a few ex-wives, sadly. I'm a casualty of marriage--other people's marriages. But I'm happy for them. :)
PS Donuts, dancing, and Diet Cokes all night sounds awesome!
