My story begins with a twist...

[Lll54]

I third the "fixing" verses "validating" comment Puppy said. I feel that's a reason why my marriage is where it is right now. Men are fixers, even though mine isn't right now, he always was and when he couldn't FIX our situation, it got to him and he left. I am not in the position to give you of all people advice because I feel you are on the right track, but you can't fix this. Coming from a woman, sometimes we want to go through what we're going through without that man trying to help us get out of it. Men tend to want take responsibility for their women's problems as they feel like the protector. But she will get through this on her own, and come out a strong independent woman and you will be there on her side when its all done holding her hand. I'm sure of it.
