Kent - I enjoy reading about your life. I have to say - when I'm ready to throw in the towel - I think about you and feel a challenge brewing..."if Kent did it, so can I!"

I love it - that last reply of yours. I think couples are the key to helping eachother with eachothers deficiencies- and without the problems maybe there would be no true spiritual growth. I think I know why I matched up with my H. But first, his 'gift' to me is learning to avoid confrontation (lol!) and to learn patience. Avoiding confrontation has it's benefits, within limits of course. For one, everyone loves my H - everyone. He is the ultimate diplomat when chooses to be. He could have written the book 'How to win Friends and influence People.' My gift - I think, is helping him connect with his own core. He probably would have been there already if for thousands of reasons. But I might just be the first domino in that series. Even if we split, at least it will be in motion (I hope) for him. He is seeking counseling - first time ever. (If you only knew how he needed it). I guess if neither achieves our goals then, (if you believe in karma), there's always another lifetime.
