Finding Hope

[LearningPatience]

I'm sorry but when I read of these 4 yr, 5 yr old marriages that are on the rocks already I just think people give up Wayyyy too easy. It's like everyting else in our disposable society, just throw it away! I realize there are some very toxic relationships out there and of cource u have to protect yourself and your family from harm.

Completely agree sunny! Not only am I saddened my my sitch, but my W's EA started after only 3 1/2 years of M. I expected to grow old with her, but now...

The ONE ( amongst others ) things that my hubby and I lost for "each other " after all these years was RESPECT! When u start treating a complete stranger better than U do your spouse, and turn to your friends and family to talk about your relationship problems instead of the one your married 2, don't expect your marriage to improve or to even last.

My hubby tells me all the time that I'm his best friend...sometimes I take that with a grain of salt..thinking to myself.."Well if this is how you treat your best friend I'd hate to be your enemy "

Again, other than your M length, are you sure you aren't my W? W and I used to be best friends. I know I wasn't as respectful as I should have been, either to her or myself. Still, the tone she would give me, often for the simplest things, made me feel two feet tall. I got so that I would be afraid to even talk to her and sulk away. Of course, one of W's complaints is that we don't communicate well...

OK bye...we have a tornado warning directly south of us, and no I'm in Mich not MS or OK

Stay safe! You can keep the storms down there...

And thanks for stopping in, it's good to hear the success stories!
