I just want to say that I totally get the melodrama, at least I always get it when I'm looking back on a moment; when I'm IN the moment it's just raw feeling. We are 37 years into our marriage and still come up against those difficult times when we each have a different idea of how to deal (or not deal) with "issues." Be encouraged - we have found many ways to connect and talk things out over the years. We've had many "happy endings," and look forward to many more. Marriage is not for the faint of heart (I had the thought not long ago that maybe I'm just getting to old for all this!), but it's very much worth it. Our lives are enmeshed for better or for worse (mostly better) because we don't give up.mommo4.5https://www.blogger.com/profile/14573084935951083448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-34884393302272850242013-01-26T14:01:04.487-08:002013-01-26T14:01:04.487-08:00Wow - it really feels like ur reading my mind ... ...Wow - it really feels like ur reading my mind ...

I was totally there with you all the way through your thought processing going, "Yeah! That's what I do too!" But the resolution you guys came up with is pure genius, and I confess to being a few light years away from that. But there's hope. <br /><br />Seriously, I love this post for its honesty AND for how it helps me process my own marriage stuff. Thank you. You are indeed a good bloggy friend to have. =)Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-56629232743062189752013-01-23T17:00:28.888-08:002013-01-23T17:00:28.888-08:00I like your solution, and I'm glad you were ab...I like your solution, and I'm glad you were able to resolve the issue. It's tough to stay connected with your spouse when there are little people demanding all your time and attention.<br /><br />We haven't had a date night in a loooong time, but we squeeze in lunch dates when we can. I like your solution.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520269852156590259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-4925324359556078422013-01-23T06:20:10.244-08:002013-01-23T06:20:10.244-08:00Wow!
