When a man and a woman marry, they decide to become one. Of course, they must decide which one, and that is often where the storm starts. -Pierce Harris

My ex-wife had already decided, I slowly realized to my horror. And we all know how that ended up ...

Sometimes thre's no decision to be made, 'cause one person will not be open to negotiations.

Which explains why I'm still single. I don't even get along with myself!

Lynne:

You sound like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry fell madly in love with Janeane Garofalo, got engaged to her -- and then instantly regretted it because "she's just like me -- and I hate myself."

You're allowed to give yourself a little more credit, Lynne. If you're even on this board, you can't possibly be as solipsistic as Jerry and friends (entertaining though their selfishness was).

As I stated in another post a couple that wants to become one, have to work at it together, give a little get a little, don't get me wrong, Our marriage has had many battles of over powering each other, and after so much time that went by we both learned that this is a life time of changes on both sides, this is what joins you together as one, when you love someone and you know thats the one you want to be with the rest of your life, learning to respect and compromise will become easier as the years go by. As some of you already know I married my drug dealer 22 yrs ago, have 2 sons and a grandson, and we became christens together and cleaned up together 6 1/2 years ago. we have been through Hell and back a number of times, but the bond of love we have has help us to learn that we both have to be willing particpants in the changes we both have to make in life to continue to be one. And from me to you my husband as had it the hardest being that I have the most problems of being all messed up do to my past, I Thank the Lord everyday for such a supportive and understanding life mate.
