Re: An article in Newsday today-About divorce

I believe it. It took 7 months for us to feel somewhat normal, but we still have our moments.

We started dating back in 95, married in 2002...baby came in dec 2006. He threw us for such a loop.

Take yesterday...we were in Myrtle Beach for Leo's marathon. We were getting ready to leave the condo...Leo opens the door, forgets his leftover ribs in the fridge...I come out of the room, see the open door, see Leo in the kitchen and start SCREAMING.

I bolt out, its on the 9th floor, totally maze, elevators, stairs...8:30 AM, I am screaming for Josh.

I find him...go back into the condo(which we were sharing with 2 other couples) I could have killed Leo. I swear, hit him, stab him...The ignorance. So, his friends and their wives heard me screaming for Josh, calling Leo a few unchoice words.

Now I have to sit in a car with him for 3 hours heading home and act like nothing happened?

All these things add up. He tries. But, so many things he slips up on where I feel there is zero room for error.

This does not scare me at all, and it's not that my marriage is perfect.After 14 years, 12 years of which are married.I feel that we have gone through it all. I guess that is part of the reason why I waited SO long to have my second DC. It was so hard to believe my marriage was going to last. But somehow we have made through.
I truly know that my DH is my soul mate and he feels the same.I guess you have to have faith and you most learn to pick and choose your battles.We both want the best for our children.They say.."The best thing a man can do for his children, is to LOVE their mother".
I truly believe this goes both ways.

Rob and I weren't married when I found out I was pregnant with our oldest... we actually weren't even living together until 4 days before our son was born.

After he came it was rough. The focus of the relationship changed dramatically. And I will admit that I was a little afraid that we wouldn't make it that first year with a newborn.

But we did. We survived and we came through it stronger. We learned how to balance parenting with being a couple and I am thrilled with the result.
