i feel dirty for having to go to that site. I went and flagged it as child abuse for the good of all mankind...

Being married for 38 amazing years I think I can add something of value to this discussion. I've worn diapers since I was 12, so when I met the love of my life I was incontinent, but not an AB, although even back then I had tendencies. We courted for three years, were engaged for a year, and married in 1974. What made our relationship special was that I was totally devoted to her, and she was totally devoted to me. It wasn't a 50-50 give and take relationship. It was 100% to 100% giving. A romantic at heart I kept the romance alive, even through three kids (all three in diapers and me made 4), through various jobs, a life-time career, and her going back to school once the kids were all in school and becoming a teacher. As the kids were getting to the end of high school and into college or the military she went back to school again to become an administrator. I supported her through it all, adored and remained devoted to her, and refused to lose my first love for her. She has done the same. A relationship that lasts is about sacrifice, about putting someone else before yourself, and doing everything you can to meet their needs. We're still in love, still steal kisses at stop lights and on bridges, hold hands, I still open the door for her, and I tell her every day that I love her, and that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She knows that my heart belongs to her, as I know hers belongs to me. That kind of relationship is possible for anyone willing to make the necessary sacrifices. We have friends who just celebrated their 75th anniversary. All of our closest friends have been married for more than twenty-five years. Don't despair! That special someone is out there, but you have to work to win his or her heart! The work never ends!
