Lest you think that my marriage was a miserable debacle of fighting about money and lying about money...
The fact is being married to my DH was FUN. No one could make me laugh like he could. He was so friendly, that everyone who met him immediately liked him!
We traveled extensively. Yes, some of the mysterious missing money went into those trips. I don't think it explains ALL the money problems, but we had a blast in Europe, the South Pacific, and the Bahamas. Las Vegas twice a year. Skiing in Mammoth Lakes every spring. Rappeling and spelunking in caves. Paragliding in Interlaken, Switzerland. Parasailing in Lake Tahoe. Sleeping in treehouses in Oregon. Chasing solar eclipses by car or cruise ship.
Yes, he lied that we had the money to pay for it all. Yes, I should have asked more questions...but perhaps I didn't really want to know the truth.
The kids had an adventurous life. He might be gone, but those experiences will be with us forever.
