thanks for checking in. I think I need to clarify something in that long post.

I'm only responsible to show a willingness to compromise for the good of the R and to show support, friendship, love, and understanding. Have I shown her that? To be truthful, probably not. I thought she needed space, not support, so how many times have I never been there for her? And yet it was okay, in my mind, because she was never there for me.
What I should have said is that I don't think I've shown support. I HAVE shown friendship, love, and understanding. Well, understanding is a hard one, so maybe that's up in the air, but definitely the other two. I did show support, but in my way, not hers. And she would never tell me what her way was. She retreated into her independence.
Anyway, I'm afraid the soup recipe is lost in the mists of time. I don't usually follow a recipe - just kind of make it up as I go along.
smartcookie, i'm happy that you think one day that can happen! You've come a long way. Why not make it happen? I don't know if you can see stars where you're at, but grab your husband go out in the yard, and stretch out on the grass, looking up at the sky. And start talking about your dreams. Your fantasies. Your desires.
I booked my trip to Scotland today - orkney islands here I come! Don't know where I'll stay yet, but I decided not to rent a car. I'm going to use a bike instead. Should be fun! I was a bit hesitant about being by myself, so decided to just stay a week. I need to build up to a longer trip I think.
