kml, your words really hit home for me. It's something I've been told multiple times regarding my H, but seeing it addressed to a different situation some how makes it sink deeper. TellMeSo, we are roughly the same age (I'm early 30s), and it may very well be that our spouses blowing up our lives this early on before the going gets truly tough is a blessing in disguise. We deserve partners that have the fortitude and maturity to stick with us through the tough times.
