Possibly the most realistic statement ever posted on GC.


I heard a couple years ago that most strong relationships (note I didn't say marriages) have a "do or die" moment. In other words, if there's something that the two of you disagree about (work, etc), it's time to draw the line in the sand and say that he either accepts you as you are, or you're done.

FWIW, this happened to me prior to hearing about the phenomenon. After a particularly long (and loud!) argument, I told mr. honeychile to GO, that's what he did best, and literally slammed the door on him (he had a hard time explaining the bruises the next day!). I completely put him out of my mind & life - well, as much as possible, considering we were on a committee together. It took him a couple months, but when he came back, he was all about commitment.

And if he doesn't move soon, I'm predicting another door slamming night... No man respects a doormat. And you shouldn't stoop to being one!!
