Candace and I made a list of things that need to be resolved before we move in together. We started with the little things and started approaching the more difficult issues last night. She really wants to adopt. I really don't. Also, Candace doesn't want to marry until it's legal (no pseudo marriage substitutions either). I really want to be married before I uproot my children from the most stable living situation we've had in quite some time. So, we're kind of at a stand-still. These issues don't even compare to co-parenting. I don't know if I'm capable of reaching a compromise there. What's the point in discussing the outright challenging issues if we can't get past the lesser issues? Relationships are work.
:( Right.
There are still pieces of us that are so hurt, so angry. They haunt us. They make it hard for us to believe that anything can work. :(
