Hey Pup,

Just wanted to let you know that I am so happy for the communication that you and Mrs. Pup have exchanged. I think that she has given you a real gift of her insight and understanding where she is coming from. It is so much easier to have patience with our WS when we understand their perspective. Also, I gotta say as a LBS, I totally understand your wife. Even though it was my H's who walked out sometimes I get excited about being single and to think that I could be going on exciting dates now and just enjoying the single life - I met H when I was 16 so I've never really dated and been single. But of course, reality kicks in and then I realize that the only side is not all that its cracked up to be. So I hope you can put your hurt aside and understand her desire to know the other side of life. We know well that single people want to be married and married people want to be single so I think that just the case here. I hope God blesses you with patience that you can understand and validate her at times, with the knowing that its just one of her needs (and I totally know that you have needs that she has to meet as well). Good luck and best wishes. You make me proud.
