Hi AT, on my phone so this won't be long. Just wanted to say I understand how hard it is when well meaning friends offer their opinions on your stand. I've been standing for 2 yrs & it doesn't get any easier to handle when they pipe up.

My standard ansa now is -
I know you mean well but you haven't taken one step in my shoes. No one knows how they'll respond til they are in such a situation. I wouldn't have thought I'd stand so strongly or long for my marriage but here I am. Pls respect my choices as I would respect yours & as I continue to respect those of my H. If you find that hard then let's not talk about it anymore.
Then I change the subject w now, who's round is it? Or so, what did you do on the w/e?

I regularly have to give my mom this one!
