Today Miss T and I have been married twenty eight years, together twenty nine. Not bad since everyone said it wouldn't last six months. "Blended families never do.". Heard that over and over. Funny thing is, most of THOSE couples aren't together any longer.
Our secret? Respect. She and I are friends. We argue... That vents. But, it doesn't go on and on. Hard to argue with me anyway. Marine Corps, then long LE career. I state my case, listen to yours... Done. You can keep talking, but I'm out.
No long drawn out, day long arguments. Those can be very destructive, and tend to open old wounds for more ammo.
So, you say, I say, done.Nearly thirty years.
