Reply #170: Longer than you...and YES...marry your best friend..and wear some naughty nighties

somewhere in there. It can work...and there are some very bad times when both go separate ways...but the "thread" still is there. Sometimes the thread is short...sometimes like (to quote Springsteen) you need to let the thread out like "Catfish Dancing on the End of My Line"..so that one or the other has Freedom! But, it can work. It's hard work and takes much sacrifice that might not always be possible for many, though. Just saying. It can work...but sometimes there are such circumstances that there is a breach that can't be bridged.

But...it really CAN WORK...if you have a friend and make sure it NEVER get's boring in the "sometimes."

Whatever....I'm just shooting my mouth off here...it's what I've found but my advice is definitely biased, because of my experience.

On EDIT...and YES...sometimes the Sacrifice is unbearable for one partner or the other...
