I know it is part of the deal but I am finding it very difficult to write this down and send it to you. It has taken me hours to collect the courage to do this. I know why you want these but wow!
Thanks for the great road trip I had a wonderful time. I had never traveled through Mendocino county before and your knowledge of the area allowed me to paint a picture of what the area was like before the B&Bs took over. The quaint Coast Guard station where we spent the one of the nights was very different as I usually stay in hotels.
Waking to the seals and sea birds in the early morning was an experience I have never had before. Russian Gulch was beautiful and it is remarkable that few people even know where it is. I was very apprehensive about ascending the stairs in the light house as you are aware I don't care for high places. You encouragement and patience with me really paid off.
Our weekend together gave me the break I needed. You reminded me of how I should be treated and why mutual respect between my husband and I will be difficult to recover but I am willing to work with him if he meets me half way. I spoke with him this morning and the conversation was very encouraging. He may not understand the break down we have had but he seems to want to recapture the affection we once had for each other, he has slowed the divorce and wants to try again.
I know, I know I was letting go of my marriage as I needed to stop caring about Bob and start caring about myself, thank you for telling me that. He either accepts me as I am or we need to understand that it will never work and what we should do next.
Your openness to have someone tell you every terrible thing about them and you will still love and care for them should be a part of all relationships. As you know I hid my secret for years and just became more and more frustrated. The time I spent alone to satisfy my cravings cannot be recaptured. The loneliest I have ever felt was after satisfying my immediate needs.
It is amazing that after 6 months of seeing each other you knew I was hiding something. You words and thoughts allowed me to finally share my secret with you. When I finally broke down and explained what I needed you smiled and asked me why I waited so long.
