My friend I do not think you took a step back. No f*ck that! You my friend took a step forward. Why do I say this?
You showed no anger - none at all.
You showed compassion - plenty of it!
You showed understanding - more than I think I will ever have.
You showed your listening skills.
You showed YOUR LOVE - Yes you did. It came out. Your tenderness, your love Missher- you showed YOUR F*cking heart!
You my friend continue to inspire me. You continue to show me what dignity looks like for a man who has endured what you have endured.
So YOU did NOT take a step back! Did not. You feel this because you love her. You feel this because YOU stood for your values. No my friend - hold your head up high and remember...
YOU DECIDE WHEN THIS IS OVER!!!!! YOU not HER!
Now get the f*ck back to work...the work on being the man that your kids, YOU WIFE and more importantly YOU aspire to be.
I'm headed to the fridge to grab a beer and toast you.
Man up - heads up!
God Bless Eric
