Quote: I do know that I have one gift in particular that is being tested now - Being able to love unconditionally and absorb whatever hurt I have to, if it means that someone I love will better themselves and find a happier life with or without me. And I can absorb a LOT of hurt, I've been doing it all my life.
I love my wife enough to do that for her. To help her to learn how to be her own person without getting her identity from me or any other man.
And if the day comes that she moves out, or falls in love with someone else 'for real' I'll hurt, but I'll be happy for her because I only want the best for us both.
Man you said it. There is peace in those quotes. Wow, what a 180 from what you and me were talking about just a few short weeks ago. This is key to detaching lovingly. Hard as hell, but when you get there, it seems ANYTHING is possible - especially *OUR* and our S's hapiness.
Keep plugging along and be true to yourself man!

Never sacrifice the great for the good. Sometimes the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair.
