Back-mirror driving?

Nope, I will refrain from bitter rethinking and other sad symphonies here now: “Upwards Onwards” as our dear Lill-babs seems to live. But I cannot help doing a little reflection.

Had I read these darn books on the theme “How to capture men and keep them” (see below) when I was still in my marriage, would life then looked a bit different? Would I maybe not have accepted being treated like a side-administrator being taken for granted, while my husband was pursuing his life-dreams and plans? Had I maybe demanded more and declared limits and not being so bloody accepting and understanding, then maybe he would have changed, loved and respected me and taken care of our love?

Maybe, but we don’t know this, and it’s difficult to drive a car while staring in the back-mirror. But some learning points from earlier bumps and corners are never in the way.
