This was supposed to reassure me. Instead it sank into me like a heavy stone into a pond. It's been settling deeper into the muck all day. I respect his honesty. I yearn for love.

I'm glad you were able to "untie some big knots", whatever that means to you. And that memories of the struggle are part of your strength. We're at the point where memories of the struggle are just painful, and seem to tighten things rather than loosen. We're working hard, doing lots of therapy, so we'll see. I certainly believe that Relationship is the biggest challenge life gives us. A good one is worth a lot of work. Perhaps a good one can't happen without a lot of work. But just because you work hard, unfortunately it doesn't guarantee a good relationship. mare (in a negative mood) age 47 Thank you for the good wishes.

We too went through a period of great difficulty, but thank God that's over now. We've untied some big knots and have found that the memories of 'the struggle' are a part of our strength. I wish you and your husband well. My wife and I have been married for twenty-four years as well. We too went through a period of great difficulty, but thank God that's over now.
