Someone suggest H is having a MLC....I don't know?

[Queen_of_Swords]

I am still willing to work, but not to the point where I become a shell of myself, running only to stay in place and gaining no ground.

I ask the question because YOU deserve the answer.

Your answer.

What Jimbo said is HIS answer. (heya Jimbo)

My answer? I found out the most amazing things about love by choosing not to let what my spouse chooses right now define me, my M or my love for her.

I'm getting there, but I'm not there yet, not by a long stretch.

Quid pro quo? Great legal theory but this life. This is love.
Will you only give what you get?

I gave and I gave, I don't think there is much of me left to give, and what was given was discarded like so much trash, and I'm no Jesus Christ.

There is a thing called a losing battle. Unfortunately I'm not the only one that will not come away from this battle, win or lose, undamaged. Our children will too. When they reach adulthood they have the example of their Dad bailing. I cannot teach them how to be husbands or fathers.

Scylla we all are challenging you here as we were challenged.

It is the only way to grow.

If you dig back far enough on these boards you will see when I got here and how angry I was.

You can do this AND it is worth doing.
