I had a busy weekend so didn't get here. I think I realize the same things MC is talking about. With how our M started where we ended up was inevitable.
I am mean she was going to have an MLC no matter who she was with.
I think the real key is how you react to what happens in your M. Infedility, self destructive behavior, etc. Whatever it is it's how you handle it that matters.
I look at this way. No matter what gets thrown at me right now I can endure it. I have been through the fire. Focusing on YOU makes you stronger. For whatever comes next. The A was her choice. Not mine.
I'm like is that all you got? Bring it. There will ALWAYS be tough times in a M.
It is your choice how you choose to handle it.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
