For Better or Worse...
A friend recently said something very touching to me. His wife cheated on him years ago. They have been divorced almost as long as they were married, now. However, when she was preparing to leave, he said to her, "Stay. If you stay this will be the worst "or worse" we've been through, but it's what we signed on for."
She chose to leave, anyway.
I chose to stay. Sometimes, it's so hard. It has gotten a LOT easier. Honestly, when I signed on to this site for the first time, I thought things would NEVER get better and that I would be miserable for the rest of my life. Then, like a dam breaking, all of a sudden, emotions started pouring through me and I started feeling all the GOOD stuff again. (And yes... the bad stuff, too.)
There are no guarantees in life. There are certainly none with marriage. However, I'm glad I have stayed, even if this has been the worst "or worse" we've had to survive.
