Why I stay

A friend of mine recently asked me this question.  Almost 13 years of marriage and more than half has been a struggle.
But answering was easy.  He is my best friend.  I remember who he was before the Marines..... before 2 deployments......... before the lies, the cheating, the pain.  I know he will never be the same person I fell in love with, but the love I have for him has not diminished.
And there are still days when he can make me feel loved.
I stay because I have never allowed myself the option of leaving.  Marriage is difficult.... some days more so than others.
