Thank you for your kind words 2Lady. It's always nice to meet someone new.

How could I not feel compassion for my wife? I was completely aware of her childhood, and I hurt her on top of that. She deserves the best I have to give, for as long as she will accept it.

The "new wife" is still under construction. Just like the rest of us are. Those going through crisis have it much tougher than those of us who are not, so the process usually takes longer. (darn it all!) I trust progress will continue to be made.

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