Upset

SC - it does not bore me at all! In fact I have posted the exact same words. We are about the same age and married about the same length of time - so I feel a kinship here. Your heart hurts - as it should. But YOU did not give up the marriage. YOU did not walk away. YOU were not perfect but YOU showed up every day. YOU were willing to do the work. HE walked away. HE took the easy way out. It's not about how perfect you were or were not - it is about who shows up every day. It's about who recognizes a VOW as a covenant. Not a promise, not a contract. A covenant. You don't break it. I always think to the future - 10 years from now. There is NO way that either one of us will be happier or better off than had we worked through what ailed us. Imagine what our kids would have been able to see in terms of how to make a relationship work. But they have to see the other side - they have to see how to pick yourself up and go on.

SC - wallow tonight. Walk tall tomorrow!
