Andy and I adore and respect each other too much to row. He is an INFP. I am an ENFP. We pretty much agree about anything important. The beauty of this is that we don't accumulate lists of slights that turn into giant, deadly snow balls over the years. We aren't together as we used to be due to his accident and disabilities, but he spends every weekend with me and he's as sweet as he can be.
I have a very firm policy of being sweet, patient and giving good communication to any of my former husbands or boyfriends. I feel that in this way, they will not regret knowing me and the time they invested in me. I get good, respectful treatment this way.
It's been so long since I was in my second marriage and way the heck longer since my first. I don't remember how long it took to make up with the first one. I remember that my second marriage was at a stalemate. By the time he wanted to patch things up, I'd given up. I didn't desire a marriage repair any longer. When he filed for divorce, I just hired a lawyer. I don't regret it at all. I am far more healthy and happy NOT being under the thumb of a JW man.
