Geez...
My mom had one foot out the door 34 years ago and was ready to tell my dad see ya, but then he got his draft notice for Vietnam....and shortly after he left she found out she was pregnant with me....
I always felt like she resented me for that, for keeping her stuck. I still do.
I do think Gypsy that we should be able to feel that undying love for our partners, or that we should at least be able to commit ourselves to them fully. But I think the fear of abandonment and rejection keeps us from doing it...
