LOOK BACK, BUT NOT IN ANGER

A true tale of desertion - only the names are changed to protect the guilty - and the innocent. In his goodbye letter, he writes that marriage is a "conception was based on an idealism that I wanted to believe then but can't believe in now." He is now comfortable in a new and open relationship with someone new. For him, it worked, as he is now a very successful film writer and director. She, the betrayed, is after many years, still single with some success as a lawyer. Maybe one day he will come to realize that one cannot take anything from life at so great a cost to another person. With multiple partners and divorces in his following life, maybe he realizes that there was and is a price to be paid.
