Wait, 25 - about the resisting and resources, maybe you have me confused with someone else? Sorry.

I was the one literally burnt out on resources - MC, IC, MWD books and audio, all other books and audio, etc. I studied ACT, the Work, read a million R books, etc.

So not sure what to say about that.

As far as people in RL R's - not many. A few, most seem utterly miserable, distant, going through motions, etc.

Yes, and I don't want to be teaching him anything. But I don't know what your point was around that or what I said to prompt that. No, I don't want to teach.

I do just want to be a couple who is working to make things work and eventually they work. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's a conscious choice. It's not just left to fate and falling in love and then who knows who will fall out of love. It's working together to create something that we both want - a family - and working out a plan - whether it be with finances or childcare or where we live - that is in the best interest of all.
