I agree Rhapsody, it is human nature. My husband is a bright and very optimistic kind of person (this is what attracted me to him in the first place!) and I was/am always the worrying anxious one.

We learn from each other all the time by talking out our feelings and communicating. My husband comes from a small family, me a large family and at times I have felt so isolated and lonely not having anyone around like when I was a child, but this doesn't seem to bother him at all. Just the 2 of us and our 2 children are all that matters to him. We have had to work through so many problems in our marriage of 17 years including having an autistic son.

I know I have put my husband through alot and him me, but we continue to work through it. Then I was diagnosed with bipolar last year and that was a double whammy! Still life goes on, some days are REALLY hard and tough, other days we just clutch at what is good and nurture it and feel the warmth.

take care
