Every marriage has downs,I feel like people give up way too easily. You obviously have made a lifelong commitment, and you are educating yourself in the best way to handle a difficult(for now)relationship.<BR/>I salute you, sailor.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-39279232878321337312008-05-19T19:52:00.000-04:002008-05-19T19:52:00.000-04:00it's all so very complicated ya know?! or can see...it's all so very complicated ya know?! or can seem to be sometimes. i *hear* what you are saying. this guy doesn't blog anymore but i used to find good relationship stuff here: http://relationshipsinrecovery.blogspot<BR/><BR/>have a nice evening syd!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-61918342989963669922008-05-19T19:02:00.000-04:002008-05-19T19:02:00.000-04:00This desire I have to control is something that I ...This desire I have to control is something that I did not expect to come up in Alanon.
