hey mair...so i didn't comment on your last post....i just read it. it makes me feel bad that dan doesn't think you've given up anything just because you havent sold a posession. you pretty much gave up the comfortable life you knew so well to go to portland...you gave up family, work, friends, a familiar place....
i don't think selling your truck will make everything just peachy! i think if you are struggling with money and cannot afford the payments, i would think about it. but the truck is you....you really worked HARD for it....and you are still working hard. i don't think you need to give up everything from your life for marriage...it's about working together to make a life....i'm really not an advice giver.....i'm mostly just rambling! i just want you to be happy.....and not resentful if you end up selling the truck...because then you marriage isn't any better off!
I'm glad you weren't offended by my comment. I had to restrain myself; my blood was boiling as I read your last post.
I am not a cynical woman who is biased from a "bad" marriage. I consider myself a smart and strong woman who got out from under the thumb of a man who would not work with me on our marriage and did not value my contributions.
I know the "D" word is probably not in your vocabularly and I know you don't want to be like me, Heidi, Natalie and Korbin. We are good woman who had to make the best of a bad situation. I wouldn't change anything about my past because I am better for it. I own it, mistakes and all.
You know in your heart what the right thing to do is and sometimes that answer can be really scary and it's not the answer you want to hear. Pray to your Heavenly Father; He knows you and He loves you. You are smart and strong and amazing and you will do what is best for you.
Again, forgive my boldness. You are very dear to me and I don't like to see you in pain. I am always hear for you! I appreciate you sharing this with us.
