Seeing less of my old shark image

[Meredith]

As you well know from our conversation last night, I support your policy of 0% or 110%. I support it all the more because it is not a vocal choice. Meaning, you are not saying, “MW, I want you to pick which side of the fence you will land on – jump now!” You are going to do what you can do with this MC and watch carefully to explore his devotion to this marriage and make your own decisions from there.

I would grab the reins quick if separation OR changing of attitudes had been only a few months. I would also be setting off caution alarms if I felt that you were crazymaking under a different name. I think that your statement about loving yourself was incredibly strong, and really the key to this process. Only you know how much of something you can take on, and only you know when it is time to release the grip.

I honestly don’t feel that you will need to release any grip. I do have never failing optimism for MW…and for your marriage. I see both of you exhibiting changes that I bet neither one of you thought yourselves or your partner capable of. Your entire family has benefited from this past year Bets. Know that. They have seen their parents demonstrate extreme strength in changing themselves for the better. I say parents because I’m including MW in that. I know, I know...you have changed MORE…but he has done a little too

As I take this time to figure out where I am going and how I am going to get there, know that I still do read this stuff and while time is not something in great abundance right now I will post when I can! And I just wanted to say – GO YOU!!! Because Bruce, you’ve earned a blue ribbon!
