Living in the trenches....Thread #5

[Denver_2010]

Well, I'm still out here. Things seem to be back on an upward trend...I'm going to try to take it a bit slower this time...not sure I'll put up with another downturn though. Very nervous about the holidays. Heading home seems to stress my W out every year, without fail...but she won't even consider spending Christmas anywhere else. I'm not too worried that W would stay there like she did last year...and I certainly won't put up with that again....that would be a "deal-breaker", as we like to say.

Also wanted to share this with everyone...I watched "Crazy, Stupid, Love" this past weekend. What a great movie. I teared up more than once, while laughing at the same time. It made me feel great about my decision to fight for my marriage...for my sake, my wife's sake, and our kids' sake. I even found myself looking at Steve Carell's actions from a DB perspective...what things he was doing right, and what he was doing wrong. Check it out if you haven't seen it. I think there's something for everyone on here in the movie.

Hey Navy! Just watched that movie on Saturday night myself. I thought the exact same thing. And it had me in tears a few times as well. Hit very close to home.

Anyway, I'm not up with your sitch all the way, but based upon this one post, it sounds like you and I are still very much in a similar boat. I too am at a point where I don't think that I will accept another step back... but things are on an upward trend right now. LOL...

Hang in there!
