BTW, I waited what's considered very late in life to marry. Mostly because my ED prevented me from getting too close to be with any one person for a long time. But I'm glad I waited to find the right one. I was just seriously starting a recovery program with meds when I met him. He's the one who actually got me into a hospital for intensive treatment. On our wedding day (although he gave me a beautiful set of precious-gem earrings) his true gift to me to me was when he said he would help me get well. He hasn't let me down.
