Hey FY, just re-read your post from last month. I’m glad you are enjoying your life and that your W is part of it. Like I said before, you are an inspiration tor me. I’m happy to “hear” that you both have the commitment to make things work. I can relate to your W’s “hurtful” comments… I do… I think… NO… I know that I was like that before… I can see now how damaging it was to my M. I brought it from my childhood and my upbringing. My Mom was always (as far as I remember) negative. It took a big shock of DB for me to start really working on myself to overcome the habit of throwing negative comments. It is not that I felt like it inside, it was just the only way I knew how to communicate. I am very different person now.

I hope your W does overcome whatever it is she needs to overcome. I hope that one day she will realize what a great man she has by her side.

Your holiday game sounds like a lot of fun. I’m glad you had all your family with you on the Thanksgiving. I hope that the rest of the holidays will be as much fun! Keep on keeping on!
