Said it reminds her of being a teenager hiding it from her mum etc
I hid it from my W for several years when we first married. Of course she knew. We still laugh about the pic of me with the grouchiest looking expression on my face while on a trip together... because I wasn't able to get my "fix".
It's been 25 years since I've lit up.
Do you wonder what it would be like being with another woman?
Not really. At least right now, I feel like even if W and I do split up, I have no interest in starting up with another woman, with her own issues and family etc. No thanks. I am, and will continue to be fine on my own.
Besides, I still feel like we'll get through her crises together and have a way better M in the end.
What made you decide to post your new thread in newcomers?
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
