Why I love Anastasia (my ex husband’s wife)

Like most men, my ex husband was blind to my growing feelings of isolation until I gave up on our marriage after only 4 years. Thankfully he met beautiful Anastasia while she was visiting family in Sydney, their friendship eventually blossoming into long distance romance despite the huge cultural & geographical distance. After a while, Anastasia decided to leave her life in Ukraine to marry Jamie knowing that this involved becoming an instant stepmother to our three daughters when they were to dad’s. Our daughters are blessed to have a step mother that loves them but doesn’t meddle at all.

An unusual arrangement

When I decided to leave my ex husband, the hardest thing to work out was how to divide our time with the girls equally. He has always been a hands on dad, spending as much time as he could at home. Neither he or the girls would benefit from reducing their time together to just weekends and school holidays. I was so relieved when he agreed to trial my proposal of the girls staying with me during the 4 days he works then him having them on his 4 days free. We were sceptical at first but it has worked amazingly well for everyone, including his new wife for the last 8 years. 

Puncture defined, Aussie slang style!! 

In Australia we have or own special language where one word has many meanings. Today I’d like to share some of our not so traditional definitions of puncture that you probably won’t find in the dictionary. Enjoy 🙂

 puncture [puhngk-cher]

  1. A hole, piercing or mark left after being bitten by a snake, shark, Crock or any of our many cute & cuddly Aussie animals. 
  2. Something that f#cks you’re car or bike tyre, usually when you’re already running late for work;) 
  3. An alternate description for indulging in the pleasures of the flesh, used by fukboys & players. Eg:- Fukboy’s friend asks So, did you punch her like a pornstar??  
  4. An alternate description for violence against women. (She keeps this sh#t up I’m gunna punch-her said the bully)
  5. A puncher – anyone who likes to fight.
