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.
