ABOUT
And so it began...
Hello. My name is Rosa Bovit.
On the day of my wedding, I happily made my way down the aisle to the supposed man of my dreams, blissfully unaware of the cosmic explosion that our marriage would become.
Things didn’t work out as planned, to say the least. My Prince Charming turned out to have a not so charming side to him. Control freak? Definitely. I figured that out before we married but I thought I could handle it. Narcissist? Seemed that way. Gaslighting tendencies? I would have to say yes. I didn’t know it at the time, but those things were to become part of a whole new type of educational experience.
There had to have been some warning signs (also known as red flags) on display while we were dating. A person doesn’t just go from being wonderful to uh oh – get me out of here!
Did I not see the signs at the time? Or did I see them and not know what they were or what they meant? Or did I see them and just ignore them?
In all fairness, I was naïve at the time. I didn’t have that much dating or even life experience. I had never had a really serious relationship. And of course, nobody shows off their not-so-nice side at the beginning. That side of my Prince Charming came out gradually. By the time we had been married for a few years, I was accepting things that might have made me run fast in the other direction at the beginning. Even worse, those things started to feel normal as they become part of my every day life. Before I knew it, I was stuck in the quicksand of a less-than-ideal relationship, slowly losing myself, bit by bit, inch by inch.
Needless to say, the marriage did not last.
It was only later when I looked back on things that I realized that there had been a bunch of red flags waving wildly at me. While I hadn’t known what some of them were at the time, I had ignored some that were obvious. I guess when your heart takes over, common sense goes on vacation.
And so, we come to The Wackadoodle Marriage, a real-life inspired somewhat fictionalized version of a relationship that started out with the ‘happily ever after’ theme and ended up on the other side of a fairy tale.
Filled with humor, The Wackadoodle Marriage takes a good look at THAT question… why, why, WHY didn’t I see it? And more importantly, how can I stop it from happening to me again?
