This post is beautifully written, and I'm definitely going to keep the poem to remind myself of perspective as I take the steps to cohabiting in the next few weeks. <br /><br />I'm hooked. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-63948040922030218042010-02-12T08:45:16.326-06:002010-02-12T08:45:16.326-06:00The post you linked to brought tears to my eyes, l...The post you linked to brought tears to my eyes, literally. I went and picked Jack (he's nine months btw) up right away for a cuddle. Unfortunately he doesn't "do" cuddling. There are far too many things to look at out there.<br /><br />I also have a response for your comment, which once again made me think. I'll put it out there as soon as there's some peace and quiet around here. Which may be never.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149273662223446935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-67313051806546573992010-02-10T15:44:04.512-06:002010-02-10T15:44:04.512-06:00What a interesting poem.

I bet it sounds beautiful in it's native tongue. <br />Marriage is pretty dang hard and it's hard not to judge people.

I would no sooner throw a rock through the window of a family eating roast, just because I am a vegetarian (which I am not, just an example) than to lambast someone's blog post because they express something that differs from my own point of view.<br /><br />Bex, I can't wait to see your post on love. I get tired of some of the fairy tale depictions of love and marriage, especially if it is so one-sided and isn't balanced with the other side of the coin--which is frustration and resentment and hard work. On one hand, I think it is human nature to want to show off the beautiful and hide the ugly, and I can also understand not wanting to air some things on the internet... but I prefer a balance that is more realistic, and those are the blogs (or posts) I really appreciate.Annjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315067950686666022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-64184049231469910512010-02-06T09:44:41.437-06:002010-02-06T09:44:41.437-06:00I could have written this post, from the peeking i...I could have written this post, from the peeking into people's windows (catching a family at dinner in the actual dining room is my favorite) to the reason you read blogs (obviously a peek into a life is better than just a peek in the window) to your comments on marriage. I read the post you're talking about and it meant a lot to me, that rare glimpse into someone else's marriage, the fact that other people struggle as I do. All over the blogosphere it's "24 reasons I love my husband" or "I am so grateful for my Love, my Only One," and "Everything they say in the fairy tales is true." And reading that often makes me wonder, is my relationship subpar? Were we not meant to struggle, to go through hell and back sometimes, to argue and resent every once in a while? Because from where I stand it doesn't look like a fairy tale, which always ends at the beginning. So it was refreshing to see such raw honesty.<br /><br />The poem is beautiful. I have a post brewing about love, but like everyone else I'm afraid to share love's harder bits with the Internet. Let's see if I can work up the courage.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149273662223446935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-46484278116443443042010-02-06T08:49:33.902-06:002010-02-06T08:49:33.902-06:00Lovely post and very thoughtful and personal as we...Lovely post and very thoughtful and personal as well. <br /><br />I had to put comment moderation on my blog because a few individuals can't seem to handle that a personal blogs means I will write about myself and they were leaving me nasty comments about everything including some very personal things. No one knows that now because I won't even publish the comments. I hope your friend realizes that some people are just so miserable that they will say that sort of thing to anybody.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907300699538080239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-43670204440735914002010-02-05T22:19:05.867-06:002010-02-05T22:19:05.867-06:00*sigh*
