We all get worn down. We stand back up, and do our best. When we back slide, we forgive ourselves and keep moving forward. We know what our goals are.
We do things that make us happy with/without our spouses. We take care of ourselves FIRST, the relationship changes as we do this. We control the way we react to our spouse. We all have choices on how to react. Validation goes along way: "I am sorry you feel that way".
