Picture is a funny referring 50 Shades of Gray and Pride and Prejudice (neither of which I have read the novels or seen the movies on). As I refer to my husband as Mr Darcy and I am sticking with him I thought why not ...

Did I read you had been furniture making?

In the carer looking after yourself section we have a thread 'self care by growing a garden' if you want yo plagiarise a picture from the internet of something similar to what you made and post it there it might be appreciated by others with garden interests.

Whilst I love my husband dearly, he is not my everything and rightly so. My own wholeness is not dependent on him, nor is his dependent on mine and indeed to place the responsibility on either of us to "complete" the other would be psychologically damaging.

Rather, we come together as two people who are committed to each other, to love each other, to encourage each other to be the best they can, ensuring that liberties toward one another are not violated, to both give and receive so that the circle of love that gives a healthy relationship security is kept intact.

hi @Former-Member,

Im so sorry if i upset you, that was a poor choice of words, what i meant was im glad you have someone who love and respects you. im so glad you have a healthy relationship, what you have is what i aspire to have. mutual respect, dignity, love and communication.

hi @Shaz51 hugs my friend

Hi @Jacques Sorry about not getting much for your car.

Hey @Former-Member @Shaz51

Getting healthy balances in relationships seems to be a fulltime job for everybody.
