In desperation, (he's out of money), he agrees to marry her if he loses the next hand. He purposely loses, because he wants to marry her. She wants to marry him, also. I say, "Marry", but it's nothing done in a church or for the Gov. They just decide they're now married.
I'm liking this addition to the Too-Tall story.
Me Too
Only they do the traditional Gaelic "Step across a sword together" ceremony. For their Friends of course, They don't need symbols, etc.
{Step across together facing the blade edge = Married // Step across together [or individually] facing the Back/Spine of the blade = divorced}
Oops 'scuse me.
Back to the threads original subject,
It is a long road back from being considered a worthless lazy a-hole for the last 14 years. I don't believe it, but if you hear something often enough, it gets hard to ignore.
Oh man.... do I ever know what you mean. I had to go through that shit when the ex and I split up. Not all of it was him I realized, and that was one of the freaking hardest things I have ever had to admit to myself. But even before him, there were others who I let do the same thing so it was all just compounded. I found that once I realized that I could live with myself, by myself that I even liked myself a little. That's where it started and it's taken a while, and every now and then I still have to fight against the "I'm a worthless shit" thinking. But as time goes on, it gets easier and easier and as Mr. Dare can attest now, no one gets away with that crap on me any more 
It's a hard road and not one for the faint of heart. But if you are motivated to change your life and way of thinking, it will happen.
In my case { whew that's reeeally a looong story} I have had to learn that I was not the "center of the 'Verse".
Not the same thing I know But another of the "long hard road" variety. Hey at least I'm trying .....
The other was a thing with
anger . THAT one has taken me most of my adult life. [more than two weeks ...]
While I still have a somewhat thin skin I feel like I pretty much have that demon back in the bottle.
The one thing I can add to whats been said is that it is, in fact, true that every journey is just one step followed by another step.
Just don't stop stepping .....
