For as long as he could remember, David Hopkins wanted to be a successful high school football coach. He even dreamed of joining the college ranks one day. In late 2000, after having achieved an enviable win-loss record at a smaller school, he was named as the head football coach at a large West Texas high school that had a long tradition of winning state championships.
On the same day, his wife filed for divorce. She cited Hopkins’s many days on the road as the primary reason for their separation, and announced that she and her four-year-old daughter were moving back to her East Texas hometown.
If you were Hopkins, what would you do?
My answer:
Well, if I were Hopkins first, I would talk to her and explain her the reasons why I accepted the job that I guess were pretty much thinking about how to provide better for my family and give them all what they need. Second, I would ask for forgiveness because nothing can be more than families and in this particular case, I was cheating on her not with another person but with another thing that took my time and adsorb me. Third, I will ask her to reconsider her decision for the health of our little child and for ourselves and fourth, I will promise her that I will prioritize my family beyond everything else and that I will give them more and quality time. In case the marriage couldn't be saved, I would maintain the relationship with my kid letting her know that I love her no matter what happen between her mom and I.
