Some of what you say is true, OT, and I do think that there is an element of me having control that makes these things more doable to me. I did not perceive it as being all about me though. It seems to be "king for a day" type stuff, though, I SPECIFICALLY made it not all about sex. I guess I could take out the cookies, etc., type stuff. Believe me, a Brazilan wax is not for me! lol!
We met when I was 18. Had our turbulent first year or two. I was ready to marry soon after my mom died when I was 23. We took a long time to go through college, so we were in that "stage" for a while, even though we were a few years older than most. Finally married just after I graduated with my Education degree when I was 26. We had been together 7 years at that point. We lost a baby in 2001, then had Mariposa in 2003. I was 31, we had traveled to Peru, Canada and England, and I had earned my Master's degree. So we did some stuff before having kids, but it is still a challenge in a lot of ways for sure. I am now 35. :-)
Thanks, OldTimer.
I DO appreciate the insight you guys give me, but I always feel like I'm not doing enough and I ***feel*** like I'm doing a lot, it just goes unappreciated. I need a t-shirt that says "unappreciated."
