We are enjoying a lovely vacation here in Hawai'i and travelling between the islands. From here we leave for Australia and our annual stay there. You would love O'ahu and Maui and indeed Brisbane where we have a home. However, you got it all wrong and passed on a life of luxury, security and the love of a man who once loved you deeply. Your loss and... once ... mine. You have the short round person to make you laugh...is everything a 'legend' Ha ha. Me, I have a tall elegant and sophisticated woman by my side, literally...my  wife.

Now, it seems that your sole purpose in life is to eat, drink and take the occasional vacation to the same old places in life. Accompanied by that very short and very large person, is that the excitement you sought in life when you spoke of it with me? Every post is food or drink pretty much. There's a whole world out there that you might have explored with me. I'm still exploring, but I don't think you ever will.

At one time I believe you thought I was the 'boring one'. It turns it was you! You never had any real idea of my life before we met did you. To you, I was merely someone who had apparently spent his life in banking. Sorry to disappoint but it was a life of two halves. The first half was filled with adventure and travel. Yes, I was in the Navy for over 15 years in a variety of roles, some sea going others land based in areas that even now I can't talk about.That's partly why you never knew.

I even misled you on the rank that I achieved.You were a poor keeper of your secrets which mainly fell into the sexual arena. Whereas, I have told you (nor anyone else, come to that) nothing of the secrets I have to keep, which makes me a far better manager of my tongue, unlike you. @bandofbrothersx are the only ones who truly know.

The other half was spent, if that's the word, in finance, and making my own investments over nearly thirty years. Perhaps that will give you some idea of how I ended up a very wealthy man

You once advised me not to tell any women about my wealth. I didn't need your advice. I had already applied it....to you. By March of 2004, I knew why you wouldn't commit and by March 2004 I knew why you didn't. It would have cramped your style. I was never going to influence any decision you made with the true extent of my wealth. You always make the wrong decisions, to use your own words, and you certainly did with me.

Have to say that your dress sense hasn't improved either. If anything it's gotten worse - very 'mumsy'. Then there's your weight, but let's not go there. You lied about it's cause, previously, by the way.

Now to another matter - one that is unresolved.

Class, standards, principles. They are not the exclusive domain of any particular social grouping. There are good and bad rich, and good and bad poor. Loose morals and actions often unaccompanied by a conscience are also spread across all ages, classes and sexes.

I am sure you'll realize where this is headed. I won't repeat what has been said many times before, but I will touch on just one area, and that is the one that concerns a kind of 'theft'.

Since your refusal to return certain items, I have spoken with many women on the subject and all said, given the circumstances, they would have returned what had been given in love for an individual who not only spurned that love but was unfaithful as well. On that cross section of opinion, you are in a minority of one.

Obviously, there is no conscience at play on your part and a skewed set of principles seems to have been employed Who ever heard of a woman 'playing away' behind her partner's back and then supposedly leaving him, but retaining items such as those you have kept. No one I know, or have spoken to. I guess it comes down to what I was talking about in the first paragraph. A lack of class (even working class), a lack of any standards of decency and certainly no principles to talk of. Combine that with loose morals and I guess I am not surprised - not surprised at all.

To think I was once in love with such a person makes me cold to even think about it. You could prove me wrong of course, but you won't, because you can't. You can't see that you have done anything wrong. To me that speaks of a deeply flawed person. Very sad, and equally sad that people such as you are out there.

It was never about the material worth of the items - it was, and is, about the way you have acted in this particular respect. I have written this just to remind you that the matter has not been forgotten or indeed 'put to bed', to coin a phrase (an inappropriate one in your case)...and certainly not forgiven.

I will write again soon and the subject will contain some comments on authorship...not mine though.
