(Adam) - Will didn't delete my account. I did. It was a knee-jerk reaction after reading a PM I got in response to my thread about our 3 year old. Since deleting, I've emailed with a couple friends on here and I guess the asshole troll is no longer around. Maybe I over-reacted, but in the moment, I couldn't deal with it...
Anyway, I knew the incident would reinforce Will's discomfort with internet sites, and I wasn't going to rejoin. But he knows that I enjoy the forum and value many of the people here. He looked around and found that there was an option to join as a couple and suggested we try it. I'm satisfied that it doesn't come from any desire to be controlling. In some irrational way, it satisfies his atavistic need to be near and protect.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this works.
Will: I want to argue with the "atavistic" part, but I can't lol , he nailed me. As for all of the control issues, we're in couples therapy and just started premarital counseling, and I'm getting my ass beat regularly. It's hard to admit that I've been off base about some stuff. The instinct is to justify. But, truth is truth.
I'm not sure how this will work. When we post, we'll indicate which of us is posting. I know that we could have gone with 2 separate accounts, but this somehow feels comfortable to both of us.
