That's just wonderful, BYU. Good luck going forward.

Thanks again guys and I have to agree with what she said earlier, this has been one awesome weekend so far.
Lathum, we actually were talking about what you said, looking back and remembering how much this strengthened our bond.....And also working daily to make sure it never weakens again. |

I've been in your shoes...exact same fit, actually. I suffered (still do, sadly, though I'm marginally better at handling it) from depression for years...and it cost me my marriage. I was in your shoes in October 2004, as my ex temporarily moved out. She wanted to get counseling, which I wouldn't do until 2008...three years after we divorced, and my depression was threatening another relationship.
We gave it six more months, but really, I believed it was going to end, and as a result, probably willed it to happen. That you have had this kind of rebound is great...but don't let up. I wish you all the best. I wish you to be able to take the path I denied myself. |

I stayed out of the thread but was reading because there was nothing I could say that wouldve been any better than some of the sage words already posted. However based on the recent turn Ill say: Good stuff.
Ashton Kutcher was doing an interview with Demi the other night and he said the thing about a marriage is that you have to work on it when things are good, not just when theyre bad... So you guys are well on your way.

Great to hear the latest update. As you mend thing, be sure to seek counseling. It will help you both better understand how you got to where you were a few days ago, and teach/remind you how to restore a thriving relationship.

Really happy to hear things are looking up - take things slow AND expect some bumps along the way.
Marriage is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and it took a while for me to get my head around that its never 'done' - you never hit a stage where thats it you can relax and just be, you always need to be working at it ... |

Glad it's all working out & you're enjoying each other again...
...and glad I didn't chime in with any of my lovely advice, as I'm just one big ball of relationship positivity & all! |

Things are still going great, we have returned to a place in time that feels like it did early on in our relationship. Perfect? No. Perfect for us? Yes, and that's all either of us really ever wanted.
The key will continue to be never allowing life to isolate us from each other again, no matter how stressful things get and when one of us has a bad day, instead of taking life out on the other, using the other to put it behind us, and enjoy each other. Really just simple things that are obvious but seem to get pushed to the back burner too much if you don't work on them. So in a nutshell.....Life is good Last edited by BYU 14 : 11-14-2011 at 11:12 PM. |
