When my wife and I started to "piece", My parents resisted. Couldn't understand and I believe thought she should...suffer more.
Ahhh the Golden Rule, right?
My mother, wanted me to understand, to know, how difficult this was for her or them.
I told both my parents, "With everything I went through, and everything I did, you wanted me to understand that you were having a hard time? Fine, I do, it's hard. But tell you what; if I can do it, you sure as helll can."
Now, that seems a bit hard. It was. My wife and I were trying to create a new realtionship, I needed, we needed support, not judgemental nay-sayers, waiting to pounce.
Maybe guys see it differently, maybe it's just me. My parents raised me, with all that implies including, being able to say that to them, and I love them. I chose my wife and I love her.
