- Scott and I have been together for 3.5 years. That's a brief time
- for some, but for many, it is quite an achievement. I am very happy
- to have had this experience because I had given up on the hope to
- have a peaceful and pleasant relationship with another.
-
- I do know that if it ended tomorrow, I would be glad for having had
- the experience. I would no longer be hunting for a spouse with that
- sense of hopelessness again. I would know that it does happen, it
- does work, and, when the right parts are assembled, it would be
- wonderful again. I thank Scott for helping me to come to that sense
- of peace.

- We have been doing that for most of our relationship. The real trick
- is to be the first one to pose the question each evening. If one of
- us vetoes a suggestion, the price of the veto is to offer the next
- suggestion.
