Thanks Punkin. I wasn't checking Validation off the list..and I was trying to figure out how I came off looking like I was. That's all. Anyway..no big deal.

It probably doesn't seem like it, but I really do know this is going to be a long haul. Do I want it to be over as soon as possible so we can move on with being happy and having a normal life? I'd be a glutton for pain if I said anything by YES.YES.YES!!! Am I willing to put in the work to get there? Without a shadow of a doubt. Do I know what I'm doing? Still got my training wheels on...and sometimes I can keep the bike steady. And when I do..then I want to tell everyone I know so they can be happy right there beside me.

I would answer those questions the same whether we stay together or go our separate ways. I'm trying to think in terms of "happy life" instead of "happy marriage". It's more healthy for me.
