Should I Stay Or Should I Go???

Our trip next week is going to be an important one. As I stated before, it's my intention that we come to a new level of understanding on this trip and help to relieve some of the stress that our relationship represents. And I know that Sally is really feeling it right now. So, I made her this offer:

We will take the time to talk it through and come to a new level of understanding OR I will leave of my own accord.

I am perfectly fine with this approach. It's not my intention to cause her distress, if there's nothing workable there. And I trust that when we are together and we actually talk (not exchange of IM), good things can come of it. If nothing else, it's a huge bet, but it's one worth making

If it all ends next week, so be it. We can both be complete about it and satisfied that we did all we could. If not, then we'll have a foundation to work off of. Neither result is bad. The way things were left this week definitely was.
