It is official my buddy and I are heading to Indianapolis, IN at the end of May for the Indianapolis 500 race. My buddy has wanted to go for as long as I have known him and he said he never went ‘because his wife didn’t want to go and she didn’t want him to go without her’. I kept my mouth shut, but couldn’t help but think, how long are you going to put up with that? He had even offered a trip where they could both go to Indianapolis together for the weekend and he would go to the race and she could have a spa day or do something else if she preferred. She was still opposed. Clearly it was a control issue there was no way she was going to let him go without a fight.

His wife left him this summer; at first he was really devastated. He did a lot of drinking and was really angry. Once again I couldn’t help but think to myself, you should see this a relief and a favor that she is gone. It didn’t seem to take him to long to start seeing the light and realizing how free he will now be not having his ex-wife trying to control him. I think it really hit him when I said to him, ‘well at least now you can go to the 500 if you want to’. He immediately lit up like he had an idea and said ‘yeah, lets go together’.

Having no plans I was game, he was immodestly off to the computer buying tickets to the race and booking a suite for us at a luxury hotels Indianapolis. He said we were going to live it up because this was going to be a celebration of his freedom.

It will be a lot of fun to finally do something we both have wanted to do for a long time and not have the interference of someone else.
