I was thinking when I was married to a man from Mexico and how I use to not be in the Mexican way of thinking. See when your married to someone from another country it is good to know the language and about the culture. Something I never tried to understand while being married to this man and it is no wonder why he said to me "I wish I would of married someone like my mother or at lease a girl from my town." I would laugh at this and say to him "You would be bored." Now he is with a girl like his mother, and this July she is going to Mexico with him and my children. They will stay for a month and I feel a little sad that I can not be there but I know I am not married to this man, he has a new woman, and I was never the Mexican way. I remember when I was married to him and we would go to a party I would sit next to him drinking a beer. The other women did not drink nor sit next to their men. They would group up together. Once my husband had told me to join the women, so I did yet I could not speak to them since I did not know the language, so I got bored sitting there not understanding anything, so then I would go grab me another beer, and go sit with the men. They were more nice to me for some would even try to speak English. My husband got nods of disapproval and so soon he stop taking me out. His new woman fits right in and he is so happy that he has his mother back in his life for this is what she acts like. I guess being different never cut it in our marriage for we got into many fights and now were divorce. I hate that my kids will be gone a whole month, it will be like they left me to go to college or something. Sometimes I could just kick myself for not understanding how to do it THE MEXICAN WAY!
