Saying things that aren't easy

May 12, 2006 - 5:11pm

This article, "What I wish I had known about marriage," by Kristin Armstrong (Lance Armstrong's former wife) is completely moving. She writes about what she feels she did wrong in her marriage. She wrote it to give advice to other women. It's good advice, most certainly. Basically, she reminds women not to give everything up for their husband. But the thing that got me in the gut is that she has the courage to point out her mistakes in public. It must have been hard knowing that her former husband would read it. I'm very impressed with her selflessness. She opened up and shared her thoughts and feelings so that other women won't repeat the same mistakes. It's a good article, go read it.

I think part of this is a case of her not getting the "real Lance" when they got together. Before he got sick, his life was all about racing and after he got better, it went BACK to that but even more so. The Lance that she might have fallen in love with was one who was ill and therefore was not living his life as he would have otherwise and once he got back to that life it was not the life for her. Contrast this with a woman (or a man, in the case of Kevin Federline ;-) who is interested in someone BECAUSE of that exciting, busy, popular life that their love interest leads. It might work better for that person because that life is part of the attraction. Lastly, few of us mere mortals will ever have such a swing in our lifestyle unless we win the lottery or something, though I think it does help the odds of a relationship working out if each person is "who or what they want to be" (or at least on that track) before trying to share their life with someone else...
