You accuse me of smugness like I won some prize when my husband asked to give it another shot. I did not welcome him back with open arms, neither did I exert one ounce of effort to interfere with his relationship. I would never say our love was indestructible. I learned that after 43 years of marriage, we had rocky times to which we both contributed. I do not have rose colored glasses when it comes to my marriage. We have found a way to each other for 50 years. It's one hell of a love story, whether you deem it so...or not.
