The even saddest part is when you hit a really low bottom in an R and you work your way back out, the height of how high you can bring it is often way past either persons expectations. I've heard this from many people who reconciled their M after some major obstacles - including affairs..
This bothers me most of all. Knowing that, with what I have read and now understand, my M could be rebuild unbelievably better than it was. In fact, even better than it was when it began....if only SHE could see that. But you have to stop running first.
