H4H,

I think one of the things that I had to come to grips with was, "Was I really in love with her, or was I in love with the IMAGE of her? Of what she COULD be, if I could only be nice enough, and say the right things, and do the right things, was THAT the "potential" woman that I was really in love with?"

It's when we face our spouses, warts and mistakes and all, that we have to ask ourselves, "Am I in love with this person AS THEY ARE, or am I only in love with the image of what I want them to be?"
