I wrote about my response to this and Steve is going to share it in his next blog entry, where he will answer a lot of questions as well. So stay tuned.
I appreciate all the emails you guys are sending me. The advice is all over the place. From, "Run now, he's a con artist and emotionally abusing you" to "You guys rock and I support you 100%." I'm especially enjoying hearing from people who have actually experienced this in their lives. I am getting the most value from that.
It reminds me of going vegan. A lot of meat eaters told me I would die without meat. A lot of people who were already vegan knew it was a healthy choice and encouraged me to continue. I've learned over the years to weigh more heavily the opinions of those who have been there and done that.
But I do appreciate the care and concern you guys are expressing towards me.
I'll add also that we are going into this very consciously. If it doesn't work out, we'll make other decisions. I'm free to leave the relationship and so is he. But it's always been important for us to try something before we decide it's not going to work.
