It just straight out kicks you in the azz. For in accepting Other... can they, then, accept you?
I will always remember what Lil has said... "just because I love you, doesn't mean I can BE with you."
And then my shrink comes roaring into my head. "Corri. Marriage is not about love. Marriage is about how well two people can work together to solve their problems."
Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Fcking books and romance movies... but. A lesson I will never forget.
