Erika-
Thank you, sometimes it takes the painstaking task of reading and re-reading every post to stop and re-word my message to get it across properly.
I am a very passionate person when it comes to a lot of things- my biggest thing is the right for every person to be able to be happy!
I have lived a life that would fill enough happiness, grief, fear and wonder in 100 people and I wouldn't change a moment of it because it has taught me that every person I encounter has a past, a story and maybe a struggle. I am not in any position to do anything but offer my thoughts and opinions. I am lucky enough to have found my soul mate and that has brought me such enlightenment.
I knew before I ever laid eyes on him that he was a CDer, yet I think that knowing his soul, I would've gladly accepted it learning later.
I hope that communication, heated or not continues in your life, communication is key. I will be the first to admit that my marriage is not perfect, but dressing is NEVER the reason for that. We have much normal things like 'are you listening' and 'I TOLD you that' to argue about.
Dress or jeans he is always the same beautiful soul that never listens to me :-)
