just re-read my last post, and realized it could be perceived as passive-aggressively commenting that Mrs. SP's perception was the only correct one. Which is not at all what I meant, and perhaps proof that I should leave your engaging writing style to you and not seek to emulate it! What I meant is very straightforwardly asking the questions I asked, because it IS what I'm struggling to understand about relationship in general and myself in relationship in particular...given that perception is reality, how does one combat festering resentment after the almost inevitable slights of a marriage? Yeah, there's Schnarch and there's Stosny and I'm reading them but still...it's what led Mrs. SP down her path, it's there for so many of us, and it's very much about perception. What does SP have to say?
