All I Wanted Was One Little Requirement And He Didn't Give it to Me! Just One Pepsi!

Take a look at this article. It's about some guy who walked across the US to try and figure out what was bothering him. Kind of extreme but you know, whatever works right? Except that it didn't work and he's being accused of cheating and who knows what else. For instance someone says he didn't lose as much weight as he said he did. What a thing to focus on; hardly anyone tells the truth about their weight for one thing.

But anyway this is the part that floors me:

He began his walk in April 2005 with those emotional burdens and a marriage on the rocks with his wife ready to divorce him.

"The walk had to happen in order for the divorce not to happen," said April, 33, who devotes her days to home-schooling the couple's two children. "They're connected; they can't be separated. It didn't happen the way it needed to happen."

April, who is featured in the film, says the media attention engulfed her husband, swelling his ego.

"The only thing I had was a requirement and expectation of him to exert himself physically and to have time and introspection to come up with a value system of his own," said April. "Something that would bring us closer as a family."

Now, she says that didn't happen and wants the divorce to go forward.
So here's what I imagine happening. She tells him to get out, she can't stand him anymore, the marriage is over and he panics. "But honey, I'll do anything to stay with you. Anything at all, I'll swim rivers, climb mountains, I'll bring you the sun and the stars and the moon, why I'll even walk across the United States for you!"

At that point she gives him a tired look and tells him fine, walk across the country and she'll reconsider.

That's all I'm saying.
