There was only one major problem. With no kids, and both of us working, we were living large. About six years into the marriage, the firm that Grace was working for was bought out by another firm and when the dust all settled, Graces job was one of those eliminated. We needed her income if we were to maintain our lifestyle. I suggested we find a smaller house, one that we could afford on just my salary, but Grace would have none of that. She didnt want to give up anything, so she sent out resumes and started going on interviews. She came home one evening and told me that she had a job offer.Its decent money and it has good benefits.I can tell from your voice that there is a but in there somewhere.It is with Apollo Industries.So? I asked and then it dawned on me. Just dont accept any transfers to San Francisco. Sample 2: The next four years went by and then about three months before our fifteenth anniversary, things went to hell. Along with deciding early on to have no children, we also decided that we each needed a night out alone to give each other a chance to talk to other people, keep a fresh perspective, and to give each other a little breathing room. My night was Monday and I bowled in the mens house league at Starlight Lanes. Graces night was Wednesday and she spent it stopping for drinks with the people she worked with.One night, as we sucked down a couple of beers after the game, Dave Sampson asked me how Grace and I were getting along.Okay. Why would you be asking that?No reason, bud, just curious.And why would you be curious about that? Well, she and Dale did have a thing going for eight or nine years.So?So I was just curious as to how things have been going since he moved back to town and working in the same office as Grace.
