@DaycareMom : Awww ..... you have been through so much. I have no doubt that you can stand on your very own, but everybody needs someone who is an anchor in the storm. It sounds like you and Gustavo are that for each other. And just remember (lol ... this from an old lady - not necessarily wise, but one with a lot of miles of her) there are ups and downs in every relationship. My husband and I get along most of the time. But when we fight, which is not really often, sparks fly!!! Lol .... I think he is sort scared of my temper. He told me that when I am really ticked off that he equates me to a wife that someone he heard about had who got good & mad and sewed her husband up in the bed sheets once he went to sleep in the bed, beat him with a broom, and left in the car (with the car prepacked ... hahaha) before he even had time to escape from those sheets. (She must had been a very good seamtress ... big grin). But I told my husband I would not do something like that (oh, no ... not me).
