I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.

His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.

Instead of relief or gratitude, more guilt washes over me. Andy's certainly not faultless - no one ever is in a marriage

I really try to focus on my books and readers.

It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to break apart, for them to be fixed.

He who fails to plan, plans to fail.

Buried beneath disappointment and fear, anger and pride, I just might find it in my heart to forgive.
