“I didn’t have any other choice” but to have all those private meetings ...
You would think, with the divorce rate we have, that more people would recognize that staying married isn’t easy. “It just didn’t work out,” one hears, as if there weren’t two adults involved, each making conscious choices.
Reminds me of the song, "Everybody Knows".
What is making me sad is how many people on FR on this and other threads on this subject show that they just don't understand.
Putting aside the career aspects of it, this is saying to your spouse that you will not put yourself into a position where you or they will even be tempted to doubt.
It is a gift, freely given and even more precious for that.
Is being kind and considerate to your spouse so "old fashioned" and "fuddy-duddy"?
If so I would venture to say that I now know what is killing off marriage.
