I have also started keeping notes on the things I can do to sustain a great marriage. Be it a new one with W or with someone else. Thinking about how all of this unfolded makes me realize how easy it would be to fall into old patterns. I definitely do not want to live through all of this again if I can help it.
This tells me that no matter what happens, you're going to make this lesson stick and take all that you've learned with you in your relationships going forward. You're so young, DB. I'm thrilled for you that you are taking this to heart and using what you've learned to do yourself good.
Keep going, because you're doing a great job.
Go you!
