I guess I am either misreading something or I am replying in a way that is open to misinterpretation. There is a comment above that says that marriage can't survive and that is that and all you can be left with is a friendship. I know everyone here tries, but someone coming into this can take that above comment as it isn't worth any effort. I know the damage is huge and the odds are against it. But I don't think the few that survive would have survived without all of us trying. To compare to a sport, a baseball player can't bat .010 if they are not standing up at the plate 100% of the time.
This is absolutely the way I look at it. I think in the long haul, a positive outlook gives you better odds of not losing something during transition, even if slight difference. I also believe the inverse. If you think something you are doing won't succeed, it won't.Originally Posted by Kaitlyn Michele
Carri, I am the eternal optimist and it has served me well. I wish you the best with no negative outcomes. I just believe that should be our goal but while completely being prepared for each and every thing to go south on us so we are ready to deal with them.
