the most important question I have for you is this: could you clearly define why your M hit the rocks, and are you completely certain that you would not repeat your side of the mistakes?

Revise this- Is it possible that there could be as little as 3-4% of all current people that are actually reasonable happy and fulfilled to to a greater degree than not?

Life is tough. Marriage is tough. Divorce is tough. Being single is tough. Happy people tend to be happy...and most people aren't (look at how many are on antidepressants)...

Anyhoo... whistle
