So what changed? Either you did or he did or you both did.
To oversimplify, I grew up, he didn't.
To be more objective, I saw us as a perfect pair and that I could keep him balanced...ya, ya, co-dependent.

So she's been wondering herself -- is she at 45 the person she was at 23 when we started going together?
This is valid. Some people are able to change and be themselves within a long term marriage and some aren't. In the Ms I see that last, the people change exponentially. The M is not a question, it is a given and the changes are welcomed and accepted...you know the whole 2 or 3 really long-term successful marriages I know of?
