great advice i would have to agree i wish i figured that out im not married and wasn't but i was wit my kids mom for 8years so pretty much we were. but after the 3 kids and everything we worked so much and feel apart we didn't communicate anymore and then the affections and interest feel apart and so pretty much its a done deal. Communication is key in a relationship. My father told me if you want it to work in the same house with a women all you need to do and say is YES DEAR. hahaha but nuthing is ever easy so we have to work at everything but it has to be 50/50 not more on the other. and plus kids play a HUGE role on a dent in a relationship so work together and stand by each other. i just wish i could of go back and worked harder at it, but she would of had done the same. be strong be tough and hang in there.
