When people are in crisis the mistake they often make is thinking that they have to come to some resolution, one way or the other, ASAP. As LBS's we can get trapped in that way of thinking too. But Michele teaches us that having our M in a holding pattern for a bit is ok. Even better than ok if one or both partners are in crisis. We just have to learn to accept it as being ok!
One of my comments to W back when she really wanted to run was "Let's just see what happens". <<< no expectations, no pressure.
She's still here, and present.
It's often said that spouses in crisis are spinning. I'm pretty sure you can see why!
They have to steady themselves before they are able to fully accept our love.

M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
