Maybe I should be in piecing part 7?

You're right Pup. I do look for the best in people. I know that's caused me some heartache in my life, but I can't help it. It's the way I am.

Plus, Since I'm not going anywhere for a bit anyway, why no look at the positive side? If I looked at the negative side, I'd have been gone a long time ago.

I don't know, with what Break related to me yesterday and the reading I did on the links she sent, I just have so much more sympathy for W. I feel such compassion for what she's going through. Don't like that I have to deal with it, but I firmly believe we're going to make it if I can give her the time she needs.

I just keep thinking about the things she said made her vulnerable to the A and how those were things she NEVER complained about before, and even admired. And I read what Break linked and the one part talks about how these predators suggest their victims are unhappy because of certain things and then it becomes reality. And that's W.

I know what the things that bugged her are (real or imagined) and I've been working on those things for a number of months.

We have made great progress since last fall and like W said, just when things are going well, something like this crops up. So even she admitted she was starting to feel again. I always knew there'd be bumps. Don't like em, but I knew they'd be there. And if we need to get through some painful times like the last couple days to progress even further, so be it.

My goal is the kind of marriage we BOTH want and deserve. And it will suck getting there sometimes, but I'm convinced, in the end, we will.

How's that for a PMA?
