That wasn't long at all, not to condense 21 years of togetherness...

Still, yes there are people here who have been where you have been. : ) and your looking for 'success' stories in your newbie narrow view of the word.

Success as in still married.

They are around, they happen and some of them post here.

Here...in MLC you do the work, we can guide you, help and support you...but you do all the work.

You want the happy ending stories?

There are in here, go look for them. Find them. I will say they are here, and I will say someone has taken the time to even title the thread in a similar fashion.

But right now your definition of success is narrow and wrong.

Anyone who grows here, who comes to realize that they are not defined by their spouse or state of marriage...they are the real successes.

Unless YOU grow, your relationship is doomed to your mistakes...
and you have made mistakes.

Yes you have. : )

We all have.

Do the work, find the happy endings you want. It will be more rewarding to you to find them on your own...and it will kill some of the time you have no idea what to do with right now.
