Me vs. Us

When I started this blog, I really made it sound (and, maybe, on purpose) very one sided and selfish.  I have realized as the day of my demise in the mortgage industry is growing near that it is very much about the both of us.  I knew this at the beginning, but MY feelings about it all took first place.  I honestly, after the almost 16 years that David and I have been together, think that I could not do this without including him in my posts.  He and I are as one and have really been since the day we met.   We are both dependent upon and are independent from each other.  We both recognize and are comfortable with both of these aspects of our relationship.  However, I am the more independent one.  When it comes down to it, I would fair far better if something happened to David.  David admits himself that, if left to his own devices, he would survive on peanut butter sandwiches and cereal.  I, on the other hand, will actually cook for myself.  This is a product of living with my grandmother (another post altogether).  Because my schedule while living with her was different from hers as far as eating time; I usually had to cook my own meals and dine a la TV.  David, on the other hand, had a very structured dining experience thanks to his mother (yet another post).  This is us, and we are us, PERIOD.
