34 years together and going through this has to be tough. We have been together for 28 and it's hard. I have been with him for more than half my life.
Yes it is tough. When W and I met we were 16 and 18... still kids. We've spent our entire adult life together. It's extremely difficult for me to imagine us no longer being a team, but I know I'll be ok if it comes to that.
I admire any couple who has been together for decades. It means they must have been doing something right. It also means they have a M well worth standing for, even if that stand lasts for years. I want to make sure I leave no stone unturned, and have no regrets, just like all the veteran DB'ers here.

With the recent change to mean h I don't know if we will make it through. I am still willing to try but don't think h ever will.
You don't know that. H doesn't know right now either. Just stick to your DB plan and know that you'll be ok in the end.

Keep up your good work. I am envious.
I have my bad moments/days just like everyone else here. I don't always post about them. The trick for me is to not get caught up in my feelings. Feelings come and go. Instead focus on your plan. (which should be rock solid, but can also be adjusted as you go)

W spends a lot of time on her iPad. Reading, posting and writing. Sometimes she tells me stuff she's looking at, things people have posted. Other times she's smirking while on it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wonder/worry about what she's reading/posting. So far I've resisted to the urge to ask or say anything about it, because I know nothing good can come from it.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
