OMG, I can relate to almost everything I've read on this thread. Redhead, i feel like you're inside my head. I look at other Rs and see their disaster ahead of them. It's a negative way to think, I know... but I feel like I know something they don't.

My view on getting M has changed, too. When I got M, I thought, 'we're in love. So, it will last forever. That's how it works'. WRONG. That saying, "Sometimes love just isn't enough" is so true. M is not about love. I mean, isn't everybody in love when they decide to spend theri lives together? It's about how to grow together... how to resolve conflict... understanding each other's needs... It's so much more than warm and fuzzy feelings that all Rs begin with.

It's hard. That's why so many end in D. I didn't think there was anything harder than parenting. But I think the M is actually harder. Is that possible?
