I think you might be right, scaredsilly, which is why I have no desire to M again after this one is over. Both of my g-mas lost their H's years ago. I don't think either of them ever even dated another man. And I didn't get the impression that it's because they felt no one could ever compare. I think it's more likely because they knew the next one probably would. I knew both my g-pas. Even as a kid, I could see how difficult they were. I never actually saw them beat their W's, but I could easily imagine they did.
LOL! With all the bad M examples some of us have all around us growing up, it's a wonder any of us still wanted to get M'd. I guess it's our own arrogance that makes us believe that somehow "ours will be different."
The only alternative I've come up with to address the lying issue is the old saying, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." So that's where I've landed, for now anyway. I can't get H to stop lying, so I'm going to pick it up myself. If I can't get honesty in this R, I can at least get parity. Who knows, maybe his experiencing a little of what he dishes out will enlighten him. Regardless, it works for me because at least we'll both be operating from the same instruction manual.
