RE: Craig Grant in 2004 - My wife left me, I built a house, got hit by 2 hurricanes, traveled to New York and Miami

Thanks for sharing.

Seems your life was in a lot of turmoil during this period.

The break up of a marriage on it's own is very stressful but the addition of having to build a house is another one of those really stressful things you can do.

I know personally of several couples who actually split up over the stress of one of them going through a divorce (on it's own) and also have heard of couples splitting up over the stress of building a house.

As anyone who has every watched one of those DIY or property building shows knows a big project like building a house never goes smoothly.

It almost always gets delayed, goes over-budget and soaks up huge amounts of personal time.

All these things put a lot of stress on the relationship.

Then on top of that add in the fractious relationship with an ex-wife who is actively carrying out a hate campaign against you and all the legal problems of a divorce.

If that is not enough stress on a person add children in to the mix too.

I think a lot of people would just not be able to cope with that and it may become expressed as turmoil within the couple's relationship.

I think it is a testament to how strong your relationship with Julie/Yuliana is that you managed to weather this kind of emotional storm and have stayed together.

I look forward to reading more of your written posts as I think these sort of things are not only fascinating but also enable us to learn from each other's life experiences.

Thank you:)
