"Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you're friends is easy. Being friends is not."
David Levithan, Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List

Mike had gotten Michonne together real quick.

Big Navy made him get Michonne when it was reported to them that Mike refused to have her placed in his custody.

Michonne's husband had her cat Cheesy in a carrier vet documentation ready to fly out. Mike escorted Michonne to the Narita airport on a one-way flight out of Japan. One thing about Mike he is straightforward and he ain't about any bullshit. His career was more important than his marriage and the way Michonne went about stuff he wasn't going to work on it.

I wasn't aware Michonne had asked him for a divorce earlier in the day. She had never disclosed that to me until she was safely stateside.

I really didn't like the way Lori went about it, and she was on my shit list. Months later she sent facebook messages apologizing, but I put it here on ignore. I can't stand ignorance and Lori was really bred from the ignorant kind.

She was posting cryptic messages that were obvious to anyone that knew her, she was unhappy, and her marriage was unraveling. Lori was betrayed by Rick.

Everyone didn't need to know.

One thing I can say, Carol never tried to confront me. She took it out on Daryl and put his ass out immediately. She didn't take anyone's shit. You're a liar? Peace out. I sometimes wonder if I would have had gone through all that Michonne had gone through would Daryl be worth it?

"I just needed someone to talk to..."

I'm listening to Lori trying to find a redemptive quality. There were none.

"...I never wanted to be a navy wife. I never wanted to leave King's County, but Rick thought it would be a good thing for us to see the world since he had always wanted to see the world. I didn't. I wanted to live and die in Kings County. Since I was forced to experience it, I am more dead set on staying where I can enjoy family and friends that I had known all my life. I don't have any regrets about that."

"You don't have to justify your way of thinking or life to me, Lori."

I had no clue to what she was getting at, and if I had known it was her calling from the new phone number, I wouldn't have answered my phone.

"I was a fool. I am sorry for what I had done, and I was hoping you could pass it along to Michonne."

"What made you come to this realization Lori?" This apology was a surprise if short lived. Lori wanted to harp on her Ex.

"I fought over someone I can't stand to look at or be in the same bed with. I did and said a lot of things that now made me appear deranged and foolish. Rick and I were at a point we didn't talk, and we didn't want to either. It's like we had gone completely cold towards each other. We both couldn't warm up to the idea of staying married. Essentially I could never trust him. We were wasting time we can't get back when trying to follow some phony script that we can make it work despite all of our negative feelings. Somehow the positive will eventually outweigh the bad."

"Well, things take time Lori. It's only been three months."

"I remember that look he gave her at the Koban station. If he could have left me there and taken Michonne out, he would have. My gut tells me that I wasn't his choice, but he was forced to choose me. That hurts just as much if not more."

"I am sorry."

"You knew all along didn't you?"

"Yes."

"If I were Michonne, would you have told me?"

"No."

It was the cold hard truth.
