Go back to my #176 comment. The bloom of the rose that is now will fade in time. You will lose interest in the new wife in at about the 5 year point. You will have traded the disenchant of your current wife and be"ho-hum" with the second as well. Then you will start to think of the first one and although not in the sense of the sexual excitement and flame you are now with the one at this moment. You will go into the "appreciation phase" and have thoughts of guilt and remorse and come to realize that after all is said and done she was okay and she and the kids did not deserved to be thrown overboard after all. That you should have stayed with her in the first place. That process will play out no matter if it was a "juicy girl" or miss America that was your second marriage. Mark my words. I do not say this in effort to change your mind. You are not going to change your course. When the 5 year syndrome transpires you will not be caught off guard and fret over what went wrong, what could you have done to prevent it. It is as nature has it generally speaking. Will you be the exception? You will rationalize that you will be. I speak from experience. I am not a "holier than thou" do gooder. Good luck brother. I sincerely wish the best for you.

Just because YOU are not a good husband does NOT mean that all GI's in Korea (or anywhere) are bad!! I truly am sorry about the issues between you and your wife. It is sad to see any marriage not work out (I really mean this). Just an FYI, my husband was 'fixed' before we even married. He left his previous wife BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LOVE HER!!! Novel concept, huh? Staying together 'for the kids' is NOT always a good idea. You can still be a good father even if you aren't living with them. Tom... my husband is not a dog. It saddens me to think that even you GI's (past and present) think that all of you are 'dogs'. Doesn't anyone have any self respect...much less respect for others?? There really are good people in this world.... even some good husbands/wives! I would do ANYTHING for my husband and I know that he would do the same for me. No, it's not always perfect... but we RESPECT each other enough to give our marriage and our friendship the priority it deserves. For the doubting Thomas's out there... I wish you nothing but happiness, assuming you can find it! Lando… you are disgusting. Just because YOU are not a good husband does NOT mean that all GI’s in Korea (or anywhere) are bad!!

But let me just share a very painful experience with you and you can decide for yourself how to factor this in with your situation. I was in Korea in '75 and met a girl in Itaewan the first night I could sneak out of Camp Coiner while I processed in country. Long story short, I fell for her. Paid off her mamsan. Took her south with me and lived in a fools paradise for a couple of months when lo and behold it came out she was engaged to someone who had already gone back stateside. It ripped the heart right out of my chest and I have never felt that kind of pain before or since. My point is that "the afternoon knows what the morning never suspected". Life is that way. Probably not the exact situation you are in, but trust me, your position is sitting fat for something ugly to reach out and bite you. I dont judge you. I totally understand your FEELINGS, I really and truly do. But let me tell you that when you are 50 and looking back, you will see things clearly that you are not even aware of right now. Take that to the bank. UPDATE: in 2005 I got the chance to communicate with Cho, the girl who hurt me so unnecessarily. When it came time to call her, I could not think of a thing I wanted to hear her say. So I did not call. 30 years to get over that, though I did just live my life. The guy she married, they lasted a few years but they ended up getting a divorce. Perspective sure allows one to see things more clearly. Good luck you you. If you were my nephew I would sit down with you and with all my heart and fiber would try to get you to pass on this girl. Stay with your family. Your kids are the most important thing.

I'm referring back to an older post I just read. Been in a bad position lately and also have had my youngest daughter growing into young women being a total hand full but she is good. She's working steady and going to school finally. its a different world but she has alot of heart. You were a friend to me from onset and I will never forget that. I dont get to this web site much anymore. You are the older brother and likely could teach me some things. @JFisher. 157} Hey Top,

I know that dont mean much in the whole scheme of things but I believe honesty is the way to enlightenment. Some folks cant see the storm through the wind. Then the wind becomes their main focus.
