How Can We Hang On To A Dream?

A very short song by the late, great Tim Hardin (probably best known for the song "If I Were A Carpenter") sums up how I feel:

How Can We Hang On To A Dream?
(Words/Music by Tim Hardin. Copyright 1966, 1968 Faithful Virtue Music Co, Inc)

What can I say?
She's walking away
from what we've seen.
What can I do, still loving you, it's all a dream,

How Can We Hang On To A Dream?
How can it really be the way it seems?

What can I do?
She's saying we're through
with how it was.

What will I try?
I still don't see why
she says what she does,

How Can We Hang On To A Dream?
How can it really be the way it seems?

Is this really all just a bad dream, a nightmare? When I wake up in the morning will she again be lying there beside me once more?

If only, but sadly, not.

Anatomy of a Marriage Break-Up is my first foray into Blogland. Some of you may know of me as "Mr Husband" - courtesy of my (almost ex-)wife's blog - there portrayed as a rather simple and naive two dimensional character, presented with the right "spin" to enhance her unfolding and self-serving diary. As soon to become "Mr ex-Husband", my blog tries to redress the balance a little, a place to collect some of my random musings, bleatings, thoughts and feelings - to get things off my chest - as I try to come to terms with the collapse of my world and try to look beyond it. It is dedicated to all (male or female) who have experienced sudden and inexplicable marriage break-up, partly brought about by a direct result of the Internet. It is also in part a love letter to my (almost ex-)wife - too late I know - but nevertheless an expression of the feelings that I hold for her, but which somehow when it mattered most, through my carelessness or inattention I did not manage to convey to her. I hope that this blog can help us all get to "the other side" and beyond. Lastly, I trust that those blogging "friends" of my (nearly ex-)wife, who commentated and passed judgement (however well-intentioned their views and advice were) on her presentation of Mr Husband in her blog, might reflect on the harm and "false courage" this can generate. Perhaps my own blog might give a different perspective (I am happy to maintain their anonymity if they also wish to make comments back to myself). At the end of the day, no-one fully knows the real person behind a blog, merely those selected aspects of their character that are carefully crafted into the fantasy that they wish to portray to you.
