I am still with my husband. Trying to see where our path goes. However what I love about this forum is the candor. I am a person that tells it like it is. I don't tolerate excuses. When someone gives me the "I don't know" or "I don't remember/forgot" BS! Those are answers my 4 year old gives. Not anyone over 10!
My bluntness is the reason some people have problems talking to me. They don't want to hear the truth. I welcome it. I'm too emotionally involved. I need someone to play devil's advocate. On every other thing in my life, my mind operates on a fact, reasoning, logic level. I don't make decisions or solve problems on emotion. But my hurt and anger is too intense for a good perspective.
I read all responses, even if right now I don't agree with them. I have even asked a lot of you for insight and advice. You may not tell me what I WANT to hear but you tell me what I NEED to hear. Some answers to my problems or others are not what I like to hear, and some I've gone back to after I've dismissed them earlier when my emotions calm.
The people that don't understand that are not ready to face what they need. At one point we all tried rationalizing these issues or making some excuses before our emotions cooled down and we decided on our path. All the advice and experience here helps us decided which path.
Most important, we all have the right to free speech and the PURSUIT of happiness. Some words may hurt (I don't condone inapporiate/violent language) and we may not achieve happiness, we just have the right to speak and pursue happiness-nothing is guaranteed.
My father and husband are vetrans. We are given the gift of freedom and men and women who fight and die to protect our freedom. Respect others. Don't listen if you don't want to hear. Don't knock someone for chosing a different path. Our situtations are all different, yet all the same.
(sorry for the rant on freedoms-i hate it when people try and tell others what to say!
The respect for others on this site is incredible. Everyone's 2cents is worth much more than that.
