Quote: she never had a chance to experience what another guys is like because we got together so young
I feel that way too about my sitch. I think that kind of history is what will get you through this successfully. Nobody can replace or compare since you two have been together so long. I am learning the importance of becoming friends again and for us, we just need this time get some kink ironed out. However, I completely understand your position about working on yourself and wanting to share it with the one you love. I cannot imagine spending my life with anyone else and fear that my trying to DB so much and so hard will cause us to falter. SG, you and I have this passion for our R because of how we grew up and refuse to be just another broken M. Your W will see her expectations are too much, just keep your dignity adn remember PATIENCE (I have to remind myself of this EVERYDAY!).
