He's laid back and easy going, to a point. And it takes a lot for me to push him to that point. And when I'm there, it's obvious and he gets in the car and goes for a drive to his "thinking place" where he will be until he calms down and has thought things through. He's very logical and rational. Most of the time, it's me ranting and raving, waving my hands in the air, looking like an idiot while he tries not to laugh too loud. He's quick to point out flaws in my thinking and will not hesitate to tell me if something's wrong. He will tell you when my mood is going to swing the other way before I even entertain the idea. I know I've said things that have hurt and upset him. And while he's gotten upset and argued with me a few times, most of the time he keeps telling himself I"m not in my right mind and that it will pass, just don't feed her and she'll be fine. And that's true. WHen I pick a fight, and he just doesn't bite, I'll rant about it and then when it's done it's done and I forget and move on. He doesn't always forget, but he does always forgive. I've ditched my medication a couple times, and caused all sorts of havoc. THe last time I did that, when it was all over and I was picking up the pieces (and figuring out how I was going to financially survive the mess I created) he issued an ultimatum: ditch the meds again and I'm gone. And I'll take Munchkin with me. It had the desired effect. He had my attention and I began dealing with things I didn't want to deal with or face. He and I have known each other for over 10 years now. We were best friends first, and later became more. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him, and neither does Munchkin. >Traits in potential spouses that made your condition worse. My ex husband. Everything about him.

I can only congratulate you on your relationship. My wife is my mirror. I sometimes see a picture in from me I do not like. I begin to think what I can do, that this picture becomes more beautiful. Chris == original text in German language == Ich kann euch zu eurer Beziehung nur gratulieren. Meine Frau ist mein Spiegel. Ich sehe manchmal darin ein Bild von mir, welches mir nicht gef?llt. Ich beginne nachzudenken, was ich tun kann, da? dieses Bild sch?ner wird. Christian |
