Sorry to butt-in. I just saw this bit you wrote: 1. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

and I've been having some relationship issues also and it just really makes a lot of damn sense. Thanks for that.

That wonderful quote came from Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, one of my heroes.

I did a whole riff on the concept here about how a lot of times when we fight it's more about being right than what's really wrong. The concept has really stopped me from ruining a lot of relationships.

Thank you so much for the advice. I know that I can always count on you to give a heartfelt response that genuinely tries to solve the problem.

You are awesome, you really are.

2. Raise your level of acceptance and lower your level of expectation.

I really needed to see that. Again, thank you.

Ah hon, I wish I could offer advice but my marriage crashed and burned like 2 years ago.

I can tell from you entry though that you do love him, and it seems like he loves you too. You seem to have some problems - not that I can offer advice or solutions - but I mean (and I'm not trying to trivialize what you feel, AT ALL) at least thank God he isn't violent, or unfaithful, or something. I've been through that and it is horrible.

I think you guys will work it out. I hope you do. I hope someone has some advice that will help because I'm just useless with relationships, apparently. But I'm here, and I care, if that helps.

*hugs* ♥ ♥ ♥

*hugs* Thanks a bunch. I know that whatever I'm going through, it could be a million times worse. Thanks for putting things into perspective for me.

I hope that everything is going well your way. I know that you have all sorts of things you're dealing with, and you're totally awesome for getting through so far.

*more hugs*

We all have things we are going through and struggling with. You're pretty awesome too.

Thanks :)
