None of us would be here if we didn't have enough you-know-what in our lives. I know I do. I come here for support, suggestions and sometimes lovingly given correction. I am saddened by the mudslinging. I am saddened by burdening anyone by any additional ugliness. The thing is, we don't know each other, not really. Our ability to verbalize our thoughts may not be as good as the next person's, and we may come across as something we aren't.
So... I am going to try to treat others as I want to be treated. I know I don't want to be personally attacked here... I get enough of that from the man that promised to love, honor and respect me.
I will remember what we have in common... a desire to do what others won't, to bear up under incredible stress to try to save our Ms. Some of us will be successful, some of us are experiencing unbearable, apparently never ending pain. I think we all want the same thing, to live our lives abundantly, to the full and to know that we did all we could do to try to save our marriages and support each other in doing that.
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
