I feel like I've gone through this enough times in my head and written it out other places that it was time for me to write it in my own journal
( Read more... )
My journal isn't really an accurate reflection of me, my life, him or our relationship. I really only use it to vent about the bad things, and rarely write about the good. If I did, this thing would be filled because there's so much more good than bad. But it's easy to focus on the bad.
There's a quote I found a little while ago that I think fits our relationship very well. "A great marriage doesn't mean no conflict; it simply means a couple keeps trying to get it right." I know in my heart we are meant for each other, but in the grand scheme of things we haven't been together for very long, and we're still trying to get it right. I think the fact that we're both still willing to try is a very significant reason to continue with the relationship. That doesn't mean we'll still get married in the original time frame, but it also doesn't mean we're going to give up just yet.
That's understandable. Journals are meant for venting. I suppose I just read some things that would be deal breakers for me. I could not go on with someone who had Problem A, B or C or without having Good Trait 1, 2, or 3. It was a gut reaction, I guess
