JG, the GF was not a deal breaker for me...lying is. So when H and I began having honest conversations, I told him flat out that he has to stop lying. Actually said it is hardest to stop lying to yourself, stopping the lying to everyone is easy in comparison!!

I saw a lot of things I did not like about myself and a few phrases from here will always remain with me:

Time and Space
Be the wife only a fool would leave
Do you want to be happy or be right?

The first two are handily worked on through PMA and GAL. I cannot recommend GALing until you drop.

And smile. Be calm, be lovely, have a little smile. Drives them crazy...
