This post is about my ex wife. I discovered something very interesting recently, and it kind of explains a lot about our relationship. Or the parts of it I didn't understand at the time i was with her. My previous post I wrote about this new love interest of mine, called Lorelei, I by total accident discovered keys to her personality, by doing a hand writing analysis with some of her hand writing. It explained a lot about her that I didn't understand. This new information about my ex, I came upon totally by accident. I wasn't expecting to find it, nor was I even looking for it. But, now that I know it, it explains a lot. I was looking for something interesting to watch. I don't watch regular television because it's all a bunch of brain washing propaganda and advertising used to control the zombie masses of marching lemming morons as the head towards the cliff. But, I digress. Anyway, so I came upon this DVD about the start of world war one. I'm a big world war buff, and I usually watch anything new I can find related to that stuff! But, it was only a drama about the political maneuvers of the politicians at that time. Not as interesting as the war itself. So, I wasn't going to watch it. But, then, I got this weird premonition that I should watch this anyway. So, I got it, and figured, if it's too boring I'll just pop it out and watch something else. Well, it turned out to be very interesting. It's called 37 days, I think. Check it out if you want? So as I'm sitting there watching this, they were dramatizing the orgins of the first world war here is a brief synopsis: On 28 June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were shot dead in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, one of a group of six assassins (five Serbs and one Bosniak) coordinated by Danilo Ilić, a Bosnian Serb and a member of the Black Hand secret society. The political objective of the assassination was to break off Austria-Hungary's South Slav provinces so they could be combined into a Yugoslavia. The assassins' motives were consistent with the movement that later became known as Young Bosnia. The assassination led directly to the First World War when Austria-Hungary subsequently issued an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia, which was partially rejected. Austria-Hungary then declared war Then as the drama unfolded, they described how the long standing feud between the Serbs and the Austro-Hungarian kingdoms had been brewing for years. Here is a little more history on the subject Under the 1878 Treaty of Berlin, Austria-Hungary received the mandate to occupy and administer the Ottoman Vilayet of Bosnia while the Ottoman Empire retained official sovereignty. Under this same treaty, the Great Powers (Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Ottoman Empire, and Russian Empire) gave official recognition to the Principality of Serbia as a fully sovereign state, which four years later transformed into a kingdom under Prince Milan IV Obrenović who thus became King Milan I Obrenović. Serbia's monarchs at the time from the royal House of Obrenović that maintained close relations with Austria-Hungary were content to reign within the borders set by the treaty.
This changed in May 1903 when Serbian military officers led by Dragutin Dimitrijević stormed the Serbian Royal Palace. After a fierce battle in the dark the attackers captured General Laza Petrović, head of the Palace Guard, and forced him to reveal the hiding place of King Alexander I Obrenović and his wife Queen Draga. The King and Queen opened the door from their hiding place. The King was shot thirty times; the Queen eighteen. MacKenzie writes that "the royal corpses were then stripped and brutally sabred."[2] The attackers threw the corpses of King Alexander and Queen Draga out of a palace window, ending any threat that loyalists would mount a counterattack."[3] General Petrović was then killed too (Vojislav Tankosić organized the murders of Queen Draga's brothers;[4] Dimitrijević and Tankosić in 1913–1914 figure prominently in the plot to assassinate Franz Ferdinand).[context?] The conspirators installed Peter I of the House of Karađorđević as the new king.[4]
The new dynasty was more nationalistic, friendlier to Russia and less friendly to Austria-Hungary. Over the next decade, disputes between Serbia and its neighbors erupted as Serbia moved to build its power and gradually reclaim its 14th-century empire. These conflicts included a customs dispute with Austria-Hungary beginning in 1906 (commonly referred to as the "Pig War"),[6] the Bosnian crisis of 1908–1909 in which Serbia assumed an attitude of protest over Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (ending in Serbian acquiescence without compensation in March 1909),[7] and finally the two Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 in which Serbia conquered Macedonia and Kosovo from the Ottoman Empire and drove out Bulgaria
Sorry I had to bore you with so much history, but you have to know this to understand the situation between my ex wife and myself. Well, as I'm watching this, it's slowly creeping into my mind the realization of what was really going on between my ex wife and myself. I'll give a breif explanation about our relationship for those who aren't familiar. She spotted me first in the clubs I used to frequent. I spoke to her one night, and she literally attached herself to me from that moment on. We dated for several years, eventually were married. We lived together, and then she tried to murder me and collect on an insurance policy! I survived her onslaught, but just barely and got away from her. I've been left wondering ever since, what was going on with her. On the one hand, she seemed very devoted to me, but then just as quickly, she turned on me and was actively working for my death! Oh, and by the way, she never knew how much i cheated on her or anything like that. She suspected things, but never had any proof. But, believe me, she tried. She was very slick about the way she did it too. She had me see a marriage counselor. He was forbidden by law to reveal anything I told him in confidentiality to her or anyone else. So, one of her conditions for reuniting with me, at the time, was that I allow the counselor to reveal to her, the things I told him. Of course I wasn't going to agree to something like that, because it would have actually made the situation worse! Well, we separated and then divorced. And I managed to survive it. But I always wondered about the whole situation and her attitude and behavior towards me. After watching this story, I finally figured it out. Her father was a Serb, and my family were from the Austro-Hungarian empire. It turns out, there has been a long standing feud between the people of our heritages going back centuries. In other words, she and I were natural enemies, and our relatives back in the old country were still at each others throats. Also, I come from a higher caste or social class then she did. That is something I picked up on myself, while i was with her. I know in this country and society, you're not supposed to think in those terms, but it still was true. So, once again, it was like Austro-Hungarian royalty being assaulted by serbian scum again. Only fortunately, this time I survived. Isn't that some wild shit. I never even thought of the relationship I had with her, in those terms before. But, now that I look at it, and everything else that happened between us and her attitude towards me, it all makes more sense. Historically, socially and politically, she and I were enemies. I see her today as nothing but an enemy to me. And I thought about something else recently too. When we were getting married, and looking for a place to live. I was shocked by the places she wanted to live in! I thought at the time, they would never be suitable for either one of us. And since she lived in a home with her parents, it made even less sense. So, I finally found a nice large place for us, but it didn't matter because the marriage was never going to last. This point is significant, about the residence, because I remember I brought it up in the last meeting she and I ever had together. I wondered about it then too. But, seeing how she behaved and how heartless and ruthless she acted towards me. It's almost like, she only wanted to marry me, so she could kill me and profit from my death. Which is exactly what a serbian assassin would do. Do I think she was thinking in those terms when we were getting married, of course not. She probably doesn't even realize it, to this day, that our cultural heritages are at odds with one another. But, seeing how she acted, without her even being aware of it, she bahaved in a way that was consistent with the history of our different peoples. Isn't that fascinating?
