Thank you all for the support and commiseration! I printed out the photos and put them on the bulletin board next to my computer (you know.. where I live most of my life lol ) Nothing like a little negative reinforcement!
I absolutely agree about the mirrors. I guess I see what I want to when I look in the mirror. Man, have I been fooling myself. You know.. I look at the photos and think.. my poor sweet husband! He's so supportive and wonderful..he deserve so much better.
