[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 197448, member: 1436"] First, let me say, I think that some marriages need to end---abuse is never acceptable in any shape, form, or fashion. But, marriage is the hardest job I've ever had. It takes hard work and determination to make it work. There have been many times that I have not liked my husband. He is a recovering addict, and his addiction did a lot of damage to our relationship. There have been times when the love I felt for him waned. After he went into recovery it took a long time to trust him again. But, I know that the grass is not greener, and I know that he is a good and decent man with a disease that he is willing to fight to hold on to me. After 21 years the good times far outweigh the bad. Communication is one key. Another is forgiveness. Finally, I don't expect anything out of him that I don't expect from myself. [/QUOTE]
