TVS, thanks for reminding me of all the positives. Yes, yes I do still have gas in the tank, and you just gave me a little more!
Linda: I avoid touching W because she says she doesn't want to touch me, and could never have sex with me again. She still accepts a hair brushing... usually with no comments.
uRw: Your words describing what my W is dealing with brought tears to my eyes. I want to be here for her as long as I can!
RH: Your words, and especially your sitch, have been an inspiration to me and everyone else here. I can't thank you enough. I too believe in the power of withdrawing while connecting.
Snooderly: I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I was concerned that you stopped posting to me because you wrote me off as a lost cause, or worse, that I offended you with a comment or two. I'm so glad to hear that wasn't the case, because you truly are one of the Angels of the DB board!
A heartfelt thank you to my entire DB team for rushing in to rescue me today. It truly means a lot to me!
Had another R talk with W tonight... more to come.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
