I guess there was a certain amount of giving up. There was a bit of depression at first, because I truly believed that I was just going to be "stuck here". But then when my wife started to work through her bipolar issues, and started to become a noticably nicer person, I just decided that as long as I had to be married to her, I may as well be nice about it.....and then things just started to roll in a positive direction. The first step was kindof depressing though....because it kindof involved "giving up all hope".
Once I lowered my expectations....things just seemed a whole lot better, and not NEARLY as bad as I had feared.
I don't know....now that I read back on that, I don't think I'm saying it right.
It's better than it sounds.....trust me. Maybe I should just ponder my response more instead of writing "free form thought papers".
