That’s why we’re talking about a different kind of bravery here. That’s why I admire those who are taking – and have taken – that huge step forward, changing their lives and making that special room for their ‘other half’. It’s even better for those who do but never play smug by looking down on those who haven’t.
What about those who have been married but not anymore now?
I don’t know. I can’t say much about them, bur hopefully they’re still brave enough to give it one more try. Perhaps this time, it won’t be so bad. They may say they’ve had enough, but what if hearts can’t lie? After all, we’re only human.
“I don’t know, Dad. How do I know it’s safe?”
“You don’t.” That night, he’d looked so amused. “Nobody does.” When I blinked, he just patted my head gently. “No worries. You’re the only one who knows when you’re ready.”
