Judge ME, not my Government

My country was last fighting the right battle in WWII.  Since then, we've invaded countries to interfere in their national politics (Vietnam), gone to war for oil (Gulf Wars I and II) and stood by idly watching genocide (the act we helped to stop in WWII) in Rwanda, for which we didn't apologize until many years later, and now again in Darfur, for which we probably won't apologize for many years to come.  We are also responsible, nationally, for thousands of drug related deaths by not making safe drugs available, and shunning drug users so they are too scared to seek help.  Our prison system exists to keep criminals in jail, rather than rehabilitate them, so their children grow up thinking that jail is just another part of life, and it means less to them.  The prison system perpetuates itself for the financial sake of those who own the prisons.  We continue to discriminate based on race and religion all over the world, helping only those who we deem financially worthwhile. I am ashamed of my Government.  Judge me, not my Government.

We may be getting a divorce after she caught us I have a wonderful wife and we have been married for nine years now. She does not have the s** drive that I have, and I have a cousin who is in the same situation. My cousin and I have had s** since we were fourteen. We did not stop when she got married. We kept going two years later when I got married. Her husband and I are buddies and she has been friends with my wife. So that made it easy for my cousin and I to keep this going. My wife came home from work Yesterday when my cousin and I were in our motor home. I had no idea she had come home sick. She wondered where I was and why her car was in my shop parking lot. She opened the motor home door and heard us. She walked in softly and stood at the door watching. When I looked in the mirror I saw her standing there. I did NOT want to turn around, and my cousin as me what was wrong, why i stopped, than said come one i want a big one F--k me hard. That made a bad situation worse. She threw the coffee maker at us and walked out. I worried she might get a gun and shoot me or us, so I got dressed and in the house pretty quick. She was in the bathroom with the door open. My cousin went in and talked with her. She told her everything. That was had done this since we were young. that she and her husband had s** issues that made her want s**. But she did not want to damage our marriage. My wife was very calm for some reason. She talked with me calmly but she is far from happy. She slept in the guest room and ask if i wanted a divorce. I said no, and now she is wrestling with the idea is she wants to tell my cousins husband or not. Its pretty tough around here right now. and I fear what will happen if she tells him. He could snap and kill us all, or just leave town and my cousin alone with nothing. I remember all the s** that she and i have had, Not all of that combined is enough to make up for the fear I have of loosing my wife and my life. Loosing my cousin and her husband as our friends. Now we must sit through dinner tomorrow night, our usually week night dinner together. I am a dumbass for sure.
