When I asked my H if he would (not could) trust me again, he answered without hesitation. He said, "Yes, b/c that is the only way I can survive." I have thought about that every time I read about the struggles for the LBS. It took all/any merit from me and gave it all to my H. It was his ability to forgive me......based on him.....not me. That fact caused me to respect him more than ever.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
