Just a quick update to let you all know that T_L and I have been really digging in to our R and lo and behold wonderful things are happening. WE have really started to communicate softly to one another ..in this I mean no argueing, no raised voices, no fault finding....just a tremendous amount of love and understanding.
T_L is learning new and better ways to view life....cup half full rather than half empty. WE are building our R on what the future holds for us, which right now are a multitude of changes but we have decided to take the leap together, knowing that we will be there for each other through good and bad.
Retiring at the age of 40 is a daunting task but T_L is determined to evaluate the pros and cons with me by his side. I cannot tell you how much this has affected even how we talk about sex. In the last week we have figured out that we can stand up for what each of us believes in but still find a common ground to agree on.
We have a long way to go and we both know it but.... we are doing it together and that is the most important thing.
Thanks to all of you who along with us have opened our marriages and lives up to almost strangers, giving us insight and knowledge.
