Two weeks ago my world fell apart.

I had just returned from a doctor's appointment when I received a call that I had a visitor in the lobby. I was thinking it might be my brother or dad, since they were both in town on business. But when I got there I was met by a creepy old man with a stack of papers in his hand.

He confirmed who I was and handed me the papers. YOU HAVE BEEN SUED- they said. They were divorce papers from my wife of 15 years.

I was crushed.

I've always thought of myself as a good husband- supportive, loving, helpful, strong- you name it. I knew my wife had not been happy since the second week of May, but I didn't know why. I asked and she said it was just "job stress" or "sinus headaches".

I encouraged her to go to the doctor.

I took her and my son on a vacation. We hiked, camped, rode our motorcycles, and seemingly had a great time.

But apparently there was something more, because no sooner than we returned she began planning her departure.

I'm still crushed, as is my son. It's not getting better either.

I would forgive her in a heartbeat. He told her that, too.

Something is not right here. We are supposed to be the happy family- the family that every points at as an example of a loving, involved family.

I guess that the good guys don't win after all, huh?

I don't know.
