When I was fresh out of college I married a mountain man. He was smart, adventurous and good-looking. We climbed mountains, camped, hiked, fished, rafted, and skied out of bounds. It was glorious until his sense of adventure completely and suddenly shifted. When our relationship began, he believed that outdoor thrills were paramount to his well-being. Then he spiraled into ONLY craving a wicked buzz. This became his primary concern. Nothing else seemed to matter. I asked him to get help and he wouldn't. He became detached and abusive. I was young and had to be strong, so I made the decision to leave. It was a bold move and I had to be brave. I needed to take care of myself.
This mountain man song reminds me of those years of my life.

P.S. I actually DO really like this song!
