I was thinking yesterday about marriage and realtionships in general, and why my marriage has in essence failed while I think KP and I will work should life give us the cahnce to be man and wife.
It is like the Mars rovers
As we all know two rovers landed on Mars a few years ago and I think, last I checked, they are still rolling around looking at things and taking pictures.
They are in fact "living" far past anything anyone expected.
Now lets change the facts a bit.
Two rovers land, one gets caught in the landing pod or the wheels lock a day or two in and so while it is on Martian soil it is stuck in place.
It would not be bad at first, you could take pictures and sample the soild around it and all. This is good, and who knows maybe the wheels will free up. But maybe after 6 months, when you are looking at the same soil, the same mountain ranges in the distance, and you have named all the rocks it can see you would bore of this.
After a year or two it would get real bad as you have seen all the Maritan "seasons" and how they look from where you are stuck...so you most likely will concentrate on the other rover
That rover is rolling around and taking pics, and sampling new soil and showing you new things
You can go look at that cliff formation closer
You can see that weird rock 11 meters away a bit more clearly as you can move closer
You get new info into the system and all is good
It keeps you intrested
The amount of information you are getting and looking at and talking about is growing and the more you know the more you want to know.
KP and I have done nothing but talk and talk and talk for 2 years
Yet it seems we never lose intrest
She may get tired or i am distracted or in a mood, but we always find new things to talk about
My wife and I have heard each other's stories and while she works it seems that what I get are stories about the details and not about things that can maybe make us talk about new and different things.
We never talk about ideas, we talk about who said what to who
This week I was watching the latest installment to a show I have become intrested in, called IN TREATMENT.
It is the story of an analyst and four of his patients
On Friday you see him go to "therapy"; I say it that way as it is mentoring, advising, fighting, etc; and now it has become marriage therapy as his wife and him are on the rocks
This Friday you listened to how he never shares his life with his wife. " I could be married to a serial killer if he told me his day" the wife pines.
I hear about her day but not the day but the minutia of the day
I know this sounds like yet another post that will lead to "just leave her" posts, and maybe it is, but it was a feeling I had and i had to get it out

no, not at all WK - I don't advise to leave her - that's gotta be your decision totally.
I was just going to say you are the KING of analogies .... First the GPS one and now the probe one.
They are sooooooo true and yet another way to look at how a marriage or relationship can fail.
For goodness sakes though - take a holiday down under visit KP!
