My Future
I’ve always liked this song, but now, it just feels like a look into my future. A little scary, I will do everything in my power to keep it from being like this.
I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I’ve been laying here praying, praying she won’t call
It’s just another call from home
And you’ll get it and be gone
And I’ll be cryingAnd I’ll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I’ll be left here waiting
With my Heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we’ll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I’m dyingWhat do I have to do to make you see
She can’t love you like me?Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stayYou keep telling me, baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don’t think that’s the truth
And I don’t like being used and I’m tired of waiting
It’s too much pain to have to bear
To love a man you have to shareWhy don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stayI can’t take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute
After all that I’ve put in it
I’ve given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mineWhy don’t you stay
I’m up off my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
You can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay, yeahStay – Sugarland

I am glad that I saw this today—you need to read a Xanga post by either ThePrince or The_Prince. He is in the same boat that you are and wrote about it today in poetic style. It was riveting.
I have had a fascination with this struggle for years. I have seen a few movies that were heart wrenching. One was “Unfaithful” with Richard Gere,(spelling) and the other I cannot recall. It was a foreign film about a British couple where his wife’s affair was discovered due to an auto accident with her lover. The conversations between this man and his wife were amazing. I also like “Indecent Proposal’ with Redford–again, I loved the dialogue between the husband and wife.
I know there must me lots of anxiety in your relationship, but you are doing the best you can.
I have often wondered how I would react if my wife admitted to cheating. I sure gave her plenty of reasons and opportunity–working long hours in the office, highly ambitious, and our many separations due to her visiting family and going to Hawaii. I don’t think she did, but it would be interesting to see how I would react.
Hope you are doing well today—that is quite a song.

@ANVRSADDAY - I would be interested in reading that blog, do you have a link?
I like the movie unfaithful, it has been some time since I’ve watched it though. I will look into indecent proposal.
I was always one to say that cheating was inexcusable, now, I just don’t know. I look at this situation and say can I blame him? Then I think this is wrong how could we? For me, if my SO cheated it would probably be over for me as there is something obviously wrong that was not communicated. I always tell my SO if you ever want to go elsewhere, leave me first, don’t cheat. I look at my morals then what I am doing and say what am I doing??
@walking_a_long_lonely_road - I really do not know if my wife confessed to cheating.
I think this is the link:
http://www.xanga.com/theprince
I tried it and it worked. I don’t know how to do a real link for you, but it is ‘theprince’
BTW–Indecent proposal was about Redford offering this couple a $1,000,000 if he could sleep with his wife one night. When this movie came out one local TV station in Detroit did a survey asking how many gals would sleep with a guy for a $1,000,000. Nine out of ten said that they would and explained on camera how they could do it emotionally and with what rationalization.
It does not seem black and white in many situations. There are so many unhappy married people—that is for sure.
