Hi there, I suppose this ruins the spontineity of things but I don't want to screw up. This is one version of a letter I want to write to my wife for v-day. Does it look ok? I think I have too many "I" statements in there. But I don't want to assume and words or feelings on her part.<p>
feel free to heckle.
-HI<p>My lovely wife,<p>I wanted to give you a card for Valentines Day, but nothing can really say what I feel or want to express to you. So now where do I start? I was going to discuss our past, how much we had, how much we used to mean to each other, why we can get our love back. but I dont want to have our old love back, I don't want our old life I want a to start a new one with you. <p>You asked me how I can be so happy or confident lately. I was thinking about it also, I think it is because I came to a realization or agreement with myself. While I am truely positive I can make you happy and we can have all we both ever wanted, I know now I cant resolve the conflict or clear the confusion in your heart for you. I can only work on improving myself and attempting last minute as usual, to repair my part of the relationship. I can't say I wont be upset ever again, but I know this experiance has made me grow as a person emotionally. While I wish it did not take such a mind numbing shock to wake me up, I am happier with myself now and I know I can survive no matter what. Take as much time as you need to sort things out, feel free to open up your feelings to me about anything, please cry with me or lean on me as much as you need to. If I can't be your husband now, I want to be the best friend you ever had, I want to be there for you no matter what. As for me, all I can, have been and will continue to do is work on improving myself so I can create a better life. I am still hopeful we can share it together.<p>Love,
me<p>[ February 05, 2002: Message edited by: HangingIn ]</p>

I like it!!! <p>I wouldn't change a thing!!!

HangingIn,
I think it is nice.<p>Just a couple thoughts, if you have to go to Plan B at some time, these 2 statements might come back to haunt you:<p>"take all the time you need."<p>I'd say, "I want to give you time" <p>"I want to be there for you no matter what."<p>Depending on what she does, this could be rather awful for you after a time.<p>If you ever have to go to Plan B, she may say you've reneged on these written promises to her.<p>I must be feeling cynical this pm. Neither of these are necessary changes, just not handing her an unlimited future of you hanging about.

Lor, that does sound like good advice. Isn't it nice to read lovely letters like these, though, even if we do have to eavesdrop? HI, it is wonderful.

Good point Lor.
Thanks..<p>Oh btw, how bout them Pats [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img]

Hanging IN,
Pats, the team of destiny. I'm now a conspiracy believer...I mean, Patriotic theme...red, white & blue confetti, the Rams simply doing their level best NOT to play...the terrible refing (uh huh, you saw it, sheesh even Summerall noticed)...the Patriots winning over tremendous odds. It was a CONSPIRACY! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Whatever, it was a bummer, but I wore my Rams shirt yesterday. Afterall, they've been in the play-offs 3 years in a row, the Superbowl twice in those 3 years, won it once, it isn't like they are LOSERS...(repeat as needed, Rams fans).

Hey its a MB theme to inspire all of us BS'
Winning against unthinkable odds!
Striving hard and not giving up!
Eyes forward on the goal!
Great defence and special teams!
.. ok maybe that last one didnt apply.
