A = Acceptance LOL!

A=Acceptance. Okay, not really. But, since I have been married to Rasssbo, I have learned to ACCEPT he isn't prince charming nor a diamond in the rough. He's just... well, a wanna be chauvanist. And I have to live with that and deal with it.

I remember when I first met his family. They all looked at me and asked... "What did you do to him?" I was flabbergasted. "What?" "What do you mean?" I asked. They replied with "Well, he's so... NICE now... what did you do?" I didn't know what they meant. I thought he was a wonderful person... I didn't know he couldn't be nice, respectful or thoughtful. However, looking back, that should have been my first clue. NOT to say he isn't nice, respectful & thoughtful, because he is (or can be)... but we don't always agree. And those who know me, well, you know I am very verbal with what I think. And I guess, to his benefit, he's learned that the hard way.

So... acceptance. I have accepted I accepted him, as-is. And that's okay. I can live with that.
