I will agree, you need to take some time to figure that out...

Cause I can assure you, that there is more to your vows than just the obvious words that everyone hears.

For Better ? Damn, anyone can do the better..

What about loving her ?

Cherishing her ?

Honoring her ?

How about the "for worse" ???

What do you do then ? pack up and take your toys home ????

I think you need to define what it means to YOU ??

Not based on what you "said" during your wedding....

And think about how different your words are, compared to your actions...

From what I see,

It's not that you don't love her...

It's that you don't know how to love her....

That means there is time for you to do some work....

And I'm not paying to have her stuff shipped. The gov't will do one final move when I retire. My only option is to have a massive garage sale. I told her that I will do nothing until she decides what she wants to do with all of the stuff here.



No, I disagree with you there....

She isn't "completely missing" anything....

See if you can see what I see when I read that.....
