There were times I reflect back on my M and remember some times I could have used her support, but didn't get it. Instead, she bailed and would occupy her time with less trivial matters. She was probably more needy then most and I tried to attend to those needs as best I could. I think it scared her to see I wasn't always that steady rock she could count on and occasionally needed her helping hand/advice/support. She wanted to ride with me in the limo, but I wanted her to take the bus with me when the limo broke down. She couldn't/wouldn't do that. You have to give and get this out of a marriage or there's just no logic in staying in such a partnership.
For "better or worse" seems to be the wedding vow that's so hard for many to grasp.
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." -Mark Twain
