Quote: How does my "acceptance" for lack of a better word, affect our chances? The other poster put it like this "may wonder why I'm still willing to work through things when knowing so much (and think less of me because of it, hurting our chances)".
I wonder this all the time...I think if we are "accepting" and at the same time obviously miserable, then they may think less of us, it shows that we can't do anything to make ourselves happy. But if we are more living in the moments as they happen, and are GAL and seem happy and what not, then it presents a better picture. I have to ask myself, do I think less of myself for accepting the current circumstances? No, I realize that I am eating the cake too, and I need it right now, more than I want to have nothing... I think it sounds like you handled the weekend well, although I am most definately NOT an expert.
