A lot has changed! I moved from NC to Dallas, TX in 2022, and I love it here. I am working on a doctoral degree (hope to finish May 2024), and I’m walking into the best days of my life.

It helps sometimes to take a step back and be grateful you don’t have it as bad as someone else. I know you’ve heard of women dealing with things you would never! Yes, it’s therapeutic to commiserate with a girlfriend for a while about your honey. But, concerning all the things that irritate us from time to time about our hubbies, things could be worse.
We can easily get caught up in doing our own thing and miss out on opportunities to connect with one another. Having common interests can help decrease conflicts and help make you guys a team. Showing interest in something he’s interested in not only allows you to spend more quality time, but shows that you care about him, it allows you to learn new things about him, and it deepens your friendship.
You may be the type of person that just hates to apologize, but when you marry, you both have to work at becoming the person you need to be to stay in this relationship. As you share your lives together, there will be conflict, and there must be apologies along the way.
We saved up a lot of money to do this, and we missed out on a lot of events, weddings, and trips. But we knew it would be worth it one day. And although it didn’t work the first time, I know that it will still be worth it one day.
