I keep seeing things "like why this happened" and
the main thing that has really got me thing is "what was it that got em in the first place?"
AS in what was the thing about you tha tmade your spouse fall for you hard enough to take the walk and the vows...
I have been doing alot of thinking and reading and writting in my journal. Has anyone here thought about the person you used to be , I mean lets face we say the biggest part of our spouse are dead they arent the same any longer but after going thru all of this are any of us ever the same??
I know Im not, and I dont want things as they once were, I want better, I have even sat and wrote out to him the hopes and dreams I have for us as a family and as a couple. The things I loved in the past and how I would like to see those things grow in a bigger better direction.
He responded to it quite well. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this and thought about this or am I just a sentimental nut ?
I admit it Im a list maker the good and the bad, I am trying to get us to look at the things that went wrong and how we got there and how to be sure we dont go back. How to take the good , the things we both enjoy and expand on them, to break away from being just mom and dad or just being married for that matter. To be able to look across the room once again and feel thos feelings of love and respect for him and not want to throttle him instead. I have related all of this to him. Som eof it had even gotten a giggle or two if men really ever giggle. Any thoughts or other things to add some growth here? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yes, I ask those questions too.

A dear friend of mine says that 'everything happens for a reason.' I tend to disagree, to a point. There's no good reason I can find for the heartache I read about here, and in other places.

I chalk it up to the power of evil, absurdity in life, and bad decision making on the part of many of us.
