Yes, Sara, if only more would have chosen retro FIRST before making other decisions, so many relationships would be different. Keeping a marriage is hard work, giving up would have been very easy...for both of us, really. And, in the short term we both would have been happier than we were at the time. I agree with you: In the end, it will be worth it. I can't wait! And here's the kicker....if it isn't, I still wouldn't change a thing I am doing right now.
