Cheaters

While I'm at it - obviously in need of therapy (according to Butkuiss) - I will share a recent dream of mine. You see, I dream a lot, multiple dreams per night; I don't remember them all but remember many. Most are insignificant, some include visitations (mostly from lost family members and friends), and some appear to describe an alternate timeline (i.e., what could have been). This dream is in-line with the latter, but first some back history...
1Succubus (RUS)
Destiny


In college, as an early Junior, fell in love with an entering Freshman. We'll call her J’s Lark for short. We had a tumultuous 2 years together, were adventurous - and had some near misses. Almost got engaged, but for all Lark's positives, she was a flirt. Ended up that she had at least cheated on me twice, and in the end, couldn't bring myself to commit/engage with her. And we broke it off - and she had already found another man - and was married shortly thereafter. Needless to say, I was not invited; but some of my friends were - a typical church wedding.
2Incubus (USA-CA)
Make Yourself


Went through about 5 years of depression. But at the same time, was quite the player on the field. Wouldn't always pull the trigger - but had my share of fun times. Couldn't settle down until the end of the 5 years...
3R.E.M.
Lifes Rich Pageant


Met my Wife to be - got married - got a dog - took a new job and moved - bought a house - had our first kid - sold our house and moved back - had two more kids - moved again and bought a new house - worked diligently. Ultimately becoming a glorified chauffer for my kids and their various activities. That brings you up to speed with where I am now. Quite the different story for my Sister however...
4Coal Chamber
Dark Days


...my Sister on the other hand, got married - bought a house - lost a daughter in childbirth - had a son less than a year later - the child was very difficult - had a second son a bit better - had difficulties combining both motherhood and parenthood, same with her husband. Her husband (will call him A Kill) also was dedicated to his work - and had no interest in fatherhood. For a while there, me and A Kill were tight, like brothers.
But ultimately my sister and he divorced, with A Kill promptly moving to a younger, trimmer model of a woman. My sister being in various states of shit ever after...
5Dream Theater
A Change of Seasons


Now on to my dream - as to what could have been. In brief, dreamed that J Lark and I had married. My sister samely married A Kill. All was OK, until J’s Lark and A Kill cheated with eachother. What I remember most from the dream were the intense feelings. I could feel A Kill's remorse on cheating with the wife of his brother in law. There was also remorse on J’s Lark's side. But what I remember most strongly was my feelings - of distrust, of sadness, of hurt - but of continued love. Not too dissimilar to when J’s Lark and I had broken up to begin with. With that - the dream ended.
6The End (CAN)
Elementary


My dream reinforced that sometimes hard times happen for a reason. And that, even if things had turned out different earlier on, still likely would have soured later on. Can't pine on the "woulda, coulda" and wish for a different fate - as its ultimately "kicking the (inevitable) can down the road". And that once a cheater, always a cheater.
