A few years back, when Hubby and I were in the thick of things, I made a statement. I told him I would give this marriage 5 years. If by our 5th anniversary, things were not markedly better, I would cut my losses and go.
I meant every word.
I did not mean it as an ultimatum. I did not mean it as a threat. I meant it as a light at the end of what was, for me, a dark, dark tunnel.
I meant it. And I didn't know how I would mange to hang in for that long.
****
Tomorrow, Hubby and I will mark our 4th anniversary. And I will be thankful for all that we have been though in the last four years - the good and the bad. I will look back on what has come already. (It's been a bumpy ride.) And I will celebrate the future that is yet to come. (But it brought us here.) The future we will share together. For 5 years. For 75 years. For as long as we both shall live.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Good for you! I am so impressed that you committed to sticking through it and helping him find his way. I am sure there is more to go, but you have obviously come very far already.
Happy Anniversary!! For better or for worse can be really hard, but you guys are an inspiration. Enjoy your day!!
