Well, we thought we had figured out all the issues. In fact, reading through my blogs, we had — we just hadn’t noticed some of them ourselves. We knew about the physical stuff. We knew Sunshine was having trouble adjusting to life in Blaine, even with all her new wonderful friends.

What we weren’t letting ourselves hear was that Sunshine wants to be in Nashville, which I can’t. That Sunshine needs to be out and active, while I’m a homebody. There isn’t that much wiggle room here.

We’re still madly in love with each other. But don’t believe there is a way to work out the major differences.

We haven’t given up yet. But most of our tears now are depression, not anger or defense. Sunshine said she wanted to marry me in 2 years. I heard that as future tense, but sometimes she phrases it in past tense and sometimes she doesn’t. We’re not sure of anything.

Except that we really love each other.
