My Ex-Husband Returns Home - Why Love & Friendship Endures

I take you through my week of reuniting with my son's father. He arrived from Tennessee to be with his sister Jan who fell gravely ill. Jan was a wonderful amazing woman whom I loved.
As I spent time with John and our high school friends, I could not help but wonder why some people are in our lives forever but some seem to disappear so mystery. What are the three things an enduring love or friendship has in common? I talk about what I think those three things are. How about you?
Some of the clips you see in this video are of John in me in 2022. We helped each other through the tears, the waiting, and the heartbreak of the week. We went to thrift stores, took long walks, prayed and spent time with our son and grandchildren. It wasn't easy to hug him goodbye. It really was terrible...but that is life I suppose. To love is to risk...but a risk worth taking.
My love to you always,
thank you for your good wishes, prayers and uplifting kindness you show Desi and me every day...
Next week a tour of my city and a little fun...
Please know we love you so much,
Susan & Desi

Here is my song for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside

For me, it was a sibling after our dear dad passed away. She implied that I stole jewelry from our mom on the day that we moved her!! Blew me away...I was SO surprised/bewildered/ANGRY/confused!! Even seriously considered hiring an attorney...😒. I'm trying to forgive her for myself, but she had already said something even MORE hurtful a few years prior to that, so it's VERY difficult to do!! ( She acted like my late daughter didn't exist...) 😢 I really don't care to have her in my life...K.G.

My 50th no one came or called. I let go of the last 'friend' who was not a friend. Our society is no designed to nurture friendships, its all about completion, do i look better than you, you than me, getting stuff, showing off stuff, being loud and making sure you are first, its toxic and I'd rather be alone than with people, its about stuff out there, not humanness. These days everyone teaching that you must come first and no one can create a relationship when humanity is to be avoided!

I never stopped loving my ex. He and I never found anyone else. After 20 years of being divorced, he died. He was my best friend; the father of my children and I miss him so much. It's only been 10 months... When he died, a part of me died too; the part of me that only he knew. I'll never find another love like that. I'm 70 and will live with my memories. He was always there for me.❤ I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔

It reminded me why he'd been my ex husband, what a horrible man he was, how dare he even try and contact me. I raised his son's alone, all those years of so much hard work, tears, fears, for him to even dream I had anything to say to him.. vile disgusting human being.

My youngest sister had a heart attack an died during this time and one of my friends as well . I was so lost an hurt soo much . So angry at him . Gosh your story got to me , how i wish i could be friends with him ,for the rest of our lives , still love him , but trust is so important.

Susan, I left you a message yesterday, but what I didn't tell you was my ex husband was always there for me. We became best friends after our divorce and even when he was in a terrible accident, my kids asked, what will he do if he cannot take care of himself. Without even thinking, I said," well we'll just take him home! He did recover but not for long. We talked every night on the phone for several years, and finally he asked me to marry him again. I said yes, and I was so thrilled, as we had worked out our problems and got along so well. He died two nights later! I have asked myself so many times why we hadn't done this sooner......I can't come up with an answer. He had always been my best friend. So, when I suggested you and John had something very special, I really wanted you to think about it. That sort of bond doesn't come along every day, or ever again. I do apologize for the nudging but I guess I was just thinking of myself.

I still mourn the loss of my husband of 50 years over a year ago. The relationship doesn’t die, just because they die. John seems kind & giving. He seems nice to have in your life. I never burn friendship bridges…May I ask where you got your beautiful butterfly necklace? Thank you, Jeanne ( retired RN)

Beautiful video Susan. Very heartfelt and touching. What a lovely family you have in Johnny and his dear late sister. How wonderful that you still have that bond with him after all that’s happened. A true blessing. Beautiful Desi making an appearance in his garden, he so loves the freedom. Many people come into our lives, but very few stay. We are lucky for the ones that do stay. God bless and look forward to next week. 🌸

You are right when you said when we get older everything becomes clearer! I think it's great that you are friends with your ex. You have a son together. That is a strong bond! So wonderful you were there for him when his sister died. I had one of those Hershey's cookbooks and gave it to a charity shop! I love how Desi has to stretch his legs back behind him when he gets up! He is so cute!

Dr. Phil says past behavior predicts future behavior. I find that to be true with MOST people. I’ve reconnected with people from my past and am astounded at how they haven’t grown or changed. I’m too old and too tired to compromise my morals and values for them when they could care less about anyone but themselves!

@true6457 3 ай бұрын

He could really care less and hasn't learned or grown.. I do believe "the John" has deceived her for years and smacks narcissist to me (she'd be probably not aware of either a sexual diversion which almost 1 out of 3 men have had and ( I'm out generation over 55 vs 1 out 30 women in our generation) is why she" never saw it coming." He put on a great show w helping her move. Even on camera he had to come back and be the "good guy" before he tells her in (private no "more friendship") He doesn't want to be the bad guy. Then comes back to tell her "no more friendship." That's a sure demand from either a therapist or new "Friend" has given HIM an ultimatum... I'm telling you "LOVE is Truly blinding" Been there done that several times. Then found out after the internet how many women are so deceived.. and just bury their heads in the sand as was I. In Diane's case I am SO IMPRESSED by her strength to get busy, get online and create, learn how to make money, and share something most of us would be afraid to. She's such an impressive innovative woman. In my opinion any male that found her would be the luckiest guy in the world! Too bad she ended up w someone that cdnt be loyal.. because I pretty sure he "ain't".. read about narcissists... OMG she doesn't even see it was his fault she we was in that position because he DITCHED her. So many women are brain trained not to get it.. I worked in the film industry with the likes of Harvey Weinsteins.. women from our generation believed everything men told us. Male privilege has run amok for HUNDREDS of years even when we're being abused. Thank God for the internet young women can now at least learn the Truth about who the bad apples are...and there are PLENTY.. Los Angeles has 93% divorce rate men leaving women for the YOUNG more gorgeous mistress or young girl using older men for YEARS We all need to wake up and then NO MORE an the ex's come back and forth when they're either dumped by the new lady friend or guy friend that rejected THEM .... It's not good for you. FORGET about the rotten apple that dumped you during your impending golden years. I'm sorry ladies but here's your reading list. Then you all tell me if you think most men still think it's ok to dump u even if it destroys your life... Dr Phil a HUGE CHEATER read about his FIRST WIFE he left ended up destroying her life for his current controlling crazy wife. Elon MUSK Dumped AND Tried TO EVICT his first wife of his four children btw read about all his affairs AFTER that. Bill Gates who we thought was such a GREAT guy having affairs with many of his staff and I know one of them. AMAZON Jeff Bezos who actually picked UP Lauren Sanchez at a party he & his first wife was with him and Lauren Sanchez was with her WONDERFUL husband. Harvey Weinstein's affairs were not only notorious even his new wife believed him til she cdnt anymore! Last but MOST favorite was CHRIS BURRESS of KTLA ) WE ALL LOVED this down to earth regular newscaster known for BURRES BITES) Los Angeles fooled even the public & his female collegues for YEARS.. On camera down to earth OFF CAMERA WOW!!! His wife NEVER SAW OT COMING.. Its one story the MEDIA KTLA has swept under the rug. It's VERY INTERESTING It's not just famous guys. It's the regular Joe's...you need to RESEARCH your potential new males because they All have access to porn and pay for Hook up online... It's a huge problem Ladies WAKE UP...

@@mairikarlovits; Ditto. The appearance of impropriety is a phrase that refers to a situation that might seem to raise ethics questions to an outsider. It does not mean that there is actual impropriety, but that the situation could create doubt or suspicion about the person's honesty, integrity, impartiality, or fitness to serve in a certain role. 🕊

Such a beautiful thought provoking evening you gave me. I think people that come into our lives and out of our lives are for lessons to be learned. The good, the bad and the ugly lessons in life. Some we forever bond with, some we are glad they left, and some we are left hurting, but each one of the people that came, stayed or left gave us something to learn. ❤

Thank you Susan, this was a heartfelt video. You and John looked so comfortable together. That is amazing really. Glad you saw your grandkids together, that was special. I don't have that with my ex. He barely even acknowledges his grandkids who I adore and appreciate so much in my life. I think there are soul contracts that bring people into our lives. Some for a short time, and they have a purpose and impact, some for years until that contract is fulfilled. If we are very lucky we have some that stay for a very long time and are part of our soul group. I am lucky enough to have friends in that category. It is a feeling of comfort and trust as you said. It's just love for each other. What more do we need really.
