Today, I was given the best news of my life. I am cancer free and am not, at the ripe age of 23 going to bite the dust. My husband left his journal on the nightstand in our bedroom. He wrote, "I feel like a bad person, but if she dies, I don't have to get divorced." FML

#43 Um.. how is that not offensive? Im gay, don't keep a stupid journal. You can't generalize and not be offensive, especially about something like keeping a journal.. wow people need to grow up lol. Anyway, sucks but hey you're 23. You're young and not going to bite the dust. Divorce the guy and move on and find someone better for you, you have your whole life ahead. I guess this is where #43 is expecting me to say "its all good hun!", but excuse me while I go back to playing call of duty while listening to the new Chimaira cd. Oh wait, im gay, i should be writing in my journal and listening to shitty techno or pop music.. *rolls eyes*

Welp, at least you can beat him to the punch. Yay for not having cancer :D!

You've been given a new lease on life in more ways than one. Congrats on being cancer-free, and congrats on finding out your husband is an utter douche while you're still young enough to make a new life.

a MAN who has a diary? you're better off without him.

You shouldn't have been snooping in his journal, but this is definitely different than, for example, finding out something you shouldn't know by hacking his email (a reference to a FML from a few days ago). If his journal contained things he didn't want you to see, he should have had it under lock and key. FYL for having an unfaithful partner - even if he hasn't cheated on you, he's still unfaithful where it counts because he wants to leave you. Congratulations on beating cancer. Be sure to take extra precautions to catch it ASAP if it comes out of remission.

that's so amazing you're cancer free! :) on the other hand, your husbands a douche. not only for wanting to divorce you, but also for having a journal.

Why are people dissing on keeping a journal? I don't think it's lame to write down your thoughts, feelings and experiences. It gives you the ability to look back and reflect later and it can help jog your old memories that you might otherwise lose.

I couldn't agree more. My grandfather kept a journal but was a very quiet man. Now we get to relive his life through his eyes and it was a pretty amazing life. We all feel like we are starting to understand and know him better. Keeping a journal is not stupid.

"Why are people dissing on keeping a journal?" It's the Internet. If this site has anything to teach us at all, it's how unpleasant humans can be about absolutely anything (qv #8). On the bright side, we'll have all but wiped ourselves out in the next couple of centuries. Which will solve the problem, and hopefully clear the way for a better iteration of intelligent species. I have high hopes for lemurs.

I don't keep a journal, probably never will (thought with my crappy memory it wouldn't be a bad idea), but I'd never rag on someone for doing so. It's a personal choice that absolutely does not reflect on one's masculinity or maturity. Also, to the "gay" comments: masculinity and sexual preference are wholly unrelated. So that's a double disconnect between keeping a journal and homosexuality.

I'm sad that everyone just jumps to divorce. Commitments don't mean anything anymore. Love is a choice. I've seen many people go through really hard times (not just "eh, i'm kinda bored with this), but continue to choose to stay together, and work on their marriage through counseling and guidance. A marriage can be saved if you choose to live for each other and not for yourselves. I'd confront him, and plead with him to work it out with you.
