I think the big question is what makes a happy ending.
This place was a point of sanity, a third way of looking at the situation, and not be a pleading pathetic fool, or an angry resentful jerk. Instead I found calm and empowered myself.
I took responsibility for my own actions, and have strived to no longer play the mind games that we both played.
Me and my W have a longer piecing road than most, and we are still not in the clear. We each still have some very unresolved issues that may sink this ship at any time.
Despite this we both love each other and have resolved to keep trying. I don't think either of us knows where this will end. For the time being we know that we want to be together.
Regardless we have soo much work left that I am still reluctant to use the word piecing.
