Quote: WHY? Why now do we have to live only in the moment. Why now do we have to be grateful they have returned. Why do we now have to settle for less of a R than we had BEFORE things fell apart.
I guess it's this "settling" for a lesser relationship, one that doesn't take trust for granted, that makes me keep any hope of success at arms length.
I don't want to live without a sense of unquestioned commitment to our M for the rest of our lives.
You posted this on someone else's thread. You are looking WAY too far into the future... You ARE NOT going to settle for this. Your whole purpose to put up with all of your H's CRAP was to end up with an R BETTER than the one you had before. But, it is going to take TIME. I wish I knew how much (believe me, I wish I knew how much for ME, too...). Just HANG IN THERE. As EVERYONE tells me take one day at a time. Take it MOMENT by MOMENT if need be. Live in the MOMENT as Sage says.
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
