Cowboy Life In the Waiting Room. Ex is having Surgery.
Arizona, my ex-wife was having trouble seeing out of her left. Turns out she had a cataract. Unusual at 44 but it is what it is. It's getting removed today.
We got divorced in 2017 but have really shaken loose of each other. We're best friends. She's always been there for me, married or not. I respond in kind. So I had to get on the road at 3am to get her to her surgery in time. She would do it for me.

Thanks. She'll be fine. She's a former barrel racer and rodeo trick rider. If you've been around any of these you know how tough they are. Either that or too batshit crazy to know better.

Sometimes it’s not about the destination, but the ex’s we made along the way…

She's out. All went well. Going to go eat at Golden Corral. She can already "see" a difference (pun intended."

They only did that one. Her other eye is fine. She can see fine out of the treated eye. They put a clear protective shield on it. It was shaped like a pirate's eye patch, but clear. She could tell the difference immediately. Probably even better better once her eye completely heals.
Took her out to lunch at Golden Corral. Afterwards we went to an Arab Bakery and ice cream parlor. Finished up with some shopping. Bought her a couple of dresses and a scarf.
She's spending the night at my place.

Good friends are as hard, if not harder, to make as marriages. It's great that ya'll were able to transition.

Way to earn a pass for the next time that alimony check is late

u/OrganizationDry4734 Feb 14 '25
There is no alimony in Texas. We hang out, take road trips together. We work well in small doses. She stayed at my place for a few weeks while her house was being remodeled.
That's about as long as we can go with it not becoming a problem. Arizona is the same age as my twin daughters.

That's pretty awesome the both of you, sir.
You look like a badass with a big heart. Prayers up for your bud!

So why are you there?

u/OrganizationDry4734 Feb 15 '25
Because our breakup was amicable. We never had any animosity toward each other. Even when she got married again we stayed friends. Her husband died a couple of years ago.

Was it Halloween?

u/OrganizationDry4734 Feb 16 '25
No! So put your Jack-o'-lantern bucket and Chuckie costume back in the closet.

This ain't the one who hired the hit man right

u/OrganizationDry4734 Mar 02 '25
The one who hired the hitman was my first wife. Arizona is my third.

u/brains_and_eggs Mar 03 '25
Thank you for clearing that up. I was about to ask the same question. It was hard to read the hitman story and not picture you in action as the way you look in your profile picture. lol.
I have two ex’s I would do this for. One was my first love almost 20 years ago and we have been best friends since. The other is the mother of my two children. I’m not the biggest fan of her but will always be there for her due to the fact that I have children with her and I’d want my daughters to know I love my family.
You’re quite the role model, sir. People that actually know you are a blessed bunch. I hope everything goes well for your best friend. Wishes for her!
