Suppo: Honestly I do agree with you, we have almost 15 years together and if it means that I have to hold out for 15 months to get things worked out I really have zero issues with that. I just hope my wife is as patient as Starsky's and Denvers etc.
Mine seems to want things finished, or at least the last I heard she did and we're still really early in this process I know but we're at an almost standstill as far as communication goes. There have been a few baby steps and no reason for her to back away at all, but I still get the pull back pretty hard for a few days after any interaction.
But your right....im ready, willing and able to stand for mine b/c its truly what I believe in and b/c I really do believe that we've never made a good effort at fixing this so why throw it away and have to start new when we may be able to salvage this one.
