Cloe, I think everyone who's been there is just trying to tell you that adding children, especially young children, to the mix is going to make it infinitely harder to resolve the LD issues. It is good you are committed to the M, most of the folks here have been very pro-marriage too, or they wouldn't be here. But I also think you should consider putting your plans on hold until you get this very important issue at least on the track to resolution. It isn't going to get better by itself, and adding additional distractions is going to continue to push it to the back burner. I don't think any of us are trying to tell you how to lead your life, rather, we are just telling you from our own experience that adding kids to the mix will probably just make it that much harder for you to work yourselves out of your frustration. I wish I had found this bb 20 years ago when I first started to be aware of MrsGGB's LDness, or at least before we started having kids (we've got six of the little (um and not so little, S16 is 6'4") crumbsnatchers, and we got the food bill to prove it.
