I just got hit with a sad moment. I was rearranging some things (putting some of her stuff out of sight and taking down pictures of stuff) and I came across a bunch of cards. I started reading them and I realized that we weren’t always unhappy. I looked at the anniversary cards she had given me and I wanted to cry. The first card said “…you’ve made me happier than I ever imaging” the second card said “…our life has changed a lot since our wedding day but my love for you never will” and the third card said “I know I may not be the best wife in the world, but I try. Hopefully one day I will get it right.” The last card wasn’t written too long ago, we got married on Valentines Day. After I read these cards I know more than ever that we did have a loving marriage at times. How did things get so messed up?<P>I was going to let my wife make the next move but now I’m feeling the urge to call her (I actually did but she wasn’t there). She said things that really cheapened our marriage last weekend and I was beginning to believe her. Now I’m certain she said those things to justify her actions. Should I show her the cards?<BR>
