[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes.  I watched the Tuesday episode. You guys had me thinking it was a boring episode but it has been brutal for me.  The most crying I’ve done in many episodes.  And the only ugly crying.

I lost my dad when I was 20.  I remember the day of the memorial service. I have two siblings and things haven’t  always been good with them, including the day after the service.

And this show in general makes me think I’ve done everything wrong. [b]I can’t imagine my husband propping me up the way Jack did after the MRI.  We don’t have the gushing love of Jack and Rebecca.  And I am nowhere near the parent these two are, including not knowing how to save my family from a fire.

I know this is a show but this episode has made me forget that somehow.[/quote]

PP, I feel the same way.  My husband and I love each other, but not like Jack and Rebecca.  Whenever I feel down about that, I have to remind myself it's all fictional.  Jack is supposed to be the ideal husband (minus the alcoholism, of course).  I highly doubt many people actually have a marriage like that.[/quote]

This makes me feel warm inside, my husband and I are similar to Jack and Rebecca. We have both experienced a tumultuous past, it's the two of us against the world in the sense that there aren't other people outside of our marriage that we use for emotional support. IDK why, that's just how we fit together. Our parents, siblings, friends, ect for various reasons cannot be the roles we fulfill for each other.

But don't compare your marriages to the show. Jack and Rebecca do not have close relationships with their parents, they do not have siblings apart of their lives, even their inner circle of friends recognize Jack and Rebecca operate together.  If your mother or father would be that person who would prop you up after significant blow, I envy that so much.
