Good of you to post that after knowing you for 19 months Starsky!
I know, I know. Seriously, I was trying not to create any "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"-drama. But it's only fair to be transparent about it now, since people are asking me, and for the reasons I state in my post above.
And thanks for the nice note. I know I bust your balls on occasion (like today! ), but it's only because:
a. I care; and
b. I've been there (and to some degrees, still am).
I've had to learn a whole lot about myself -- and my wife -- over the past five years, and some of it hasn't been pretty. But I've learned that it's emotionally healthy to get to know -- and to learn how to deal with -- yourself and your spouse AS THEY ARE, and not as some image on a pedestal of how you WISH THEY WOULD BE (if only you were a good boy, and said and did all the right things).
