Jackie is so right. My partner could have up and left. But they chose to stay and support me, even if we aren't together. That means they LOVE YOU. Take it for what it is worth.

The first few times I tried to quit, I remember that we had separated, and I tried to kiss and hug and hold them and call them Honey. They were not open to that. And they said something that will stick with me forever:

I could be gone. But I'm not. After everything you put me through, here I am, still by your side supporting you. I am here because I know you are a good person and I know you are trying. But you can't keep wallowing in self pity that things aren't the way you want them. You have to work at it, and you have to show me you mean business. I can't tell you how long it will take. A month, 90 days, 6 months, a year... the point is, I am still here with you.

Once you humble yourself and quiet that ego, that sentiment hits your heart like an anvil.
