You tell your story with so much wisdom and maturity. I love that you stayed together and that both of you are open to growing and working on the marriage. I feel like you sum up the reason why I chose to marry the man I did when I was 24. Unfortunately when troubles did arise, he wasn’t willing to work on it and shifted the blame entirely on me. I tried to stay in that for 19 years and then had to cut my losses. I don’t regret the decision I made but I am saddened that he didn’t want to work on what was the most important thing in our lives. 😕
