((( ))). I have learned from you, on this board, and beyond. I love your comment about this being "a lesson and not a failure". Even if my m had ended, after decades, would it ALL have been "wrong"? I think not. IF we were getting "graded" we could have straight A's and then "flunk" or just a few "Ds" at the last semester (or have our spouses cheat on a few tests) and poof...is it ALL gone? I don't know the answer to that one, but many here have to face that question and you're so right, THAT is when the real work begins. Coming home is one thing; staying is another.
I think I'm a better wife b/c of you. Nope, Doesn't mean things will stay smooth, or even last forever. But for now I am a better wife. Thanks for that.
Um, so you know, I worked at Roy Rogers with my actress/sister our first year of college. We wore a cowboy hat and "prairie blouses" and boots, and had to say "Is this for here or out on the range?" and "Happy trails Partner!", etc. The only way to work there and not get worn out or embarrassed is to just go for it, ignore the silliness and embrace going over the top fully committed -to ENJOY the hilarity of it all....hmm, not bad preparation for life and M...
I'll look for you over in the other place and hope you can get a date for all this to end sometime soon...
(( Hugs )) to you FIB, and thanks so much for all the help & advice.
My h will may never know what a friend you have been to him...but I know, and I thank you- your friend, (( j- ))
