W Never Left, But This Is Tough!

[toughlover]

Thanks, running. Yeah, you did tell me that. I'm getting better at it. You're right. If done with the right spirit, out of true strength and love, it's a blessing.

So far, so good. It does seem to work...you're right about how long it takes.

Here's one for your next fortune cookie:

Student: How long does it take to save a marriage?
Teacher: As long as it takes a gull to move a sand dune 500 miles down the coast, one grain at a time, flying into the wind.

I am continually amazed at how much we take for granted in our marriages, and how much all of those "little things" truly mean. And how long it takes to even have a shot at getting them back. Sex? Affection? Companionship? Support? Heck, that's what she's there for, right?

If things ever get anywhere close to how I want them, I'll never act that way again, I can tell you that. And I think I truly understand what it means to love, honor, and cherish in a way I never did before.

And although I don't think this will ever happen now, if my W ever does throw all this away, some lucky gal down the road is going to SERIOUSLY benefit from all these hard lessons I've learned
