Well, it's about time, NOP! I thought I was gonna have to bust YOUR balls to get my hard earned brass pair.
Thanks for the kind words. I am a tenacious person, by nature, and I think that was part of the problem--H knew that he could check out of the R and that I would fight for him and for us. He has always relied on me to "rein him in" when he's getting too carried away and it has been a revelation to us both to realize that this is not a good way to handle a marriage. What he didn't realize was that by checking out, he put our M at great risk and made it vulnerable to an affair.
Anyhoo, thanks for the award, NOP, but next time don't leave me hanging.
