You guys are crazy but you are helping your H live longer.

There was an article in Parade this weekend about how women help men live longer pertaining to marriage.

One of the things was SF at least 3 times a week and the better the SF the longer he lives.

I showed it to the FWW and she said it looks like you are going to die young.(lol)

My H pointed that one out to me after he read it....

and then, yesterday ... H was all worked up and anxiety-ridden and fussing around the house with a raincloud over his head ... and I said

"YOU know.... I love you too much to allow you to get yourself all worked up over something that will not amount to a hill of beans next week. Plus, it is not healthy for you to become a worry-wort. If you promise you will "let it go" right this minute .. then let's go have some fun."

It worked like a charm ... and later he said

"this is why married men live longer and happier"

Pep,

You are a darn good wife.

I even dropped "Hint hint in there when I asked her to read it"

She said if you want to live longer quit smoking. LOL

Oh well getting the patch at the end of this month.

One outta two aint bad.

Before the affair I would have rated our M an 8 or 9 . I thought we were very happily married, clearly my H knew otherwise. Wonder how he would have rated it during his A? His A which started after we'd only been married 15 months.

Now, 9 months post DDay I rate it a 2 and I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better to cut my losses and run. It just feels like we've been climbing up - and slipping back down - this rock filled mountain for 9 months and the happy horizon still isn't clearly visible.

I'm having a bad day kids and I really need some support. Is it normal for it to still be hard this long after DDay? The first 4-6 months were sheer ******. Over the last few months there's been progress but it definitely is starting to feel like 1 step forward, 2 steps back. When does one say enough is enough? (We have no kids and I'm only 31.)
