This sounds so painful.... :|

You're listing a lot of the things that have created a lack of trust. Are there things, important characteristics, that still make you a good husband and a good person? Are there things that in your wife's eyes you still get right?

Coco grows up worshiping Ernesto de la Cruz
watches all his movies
sings all his songs
Ernesto's music divides coco's family...
then one day Coco goes on a journey,
and meets Ernesto...
at first things are amazing!
Image
and then...
Coco finds out Ernesto is a murderer who killed his dad and plagiarized his songs...
Does this mean Coco now hates music? Has Coco changed his personality?

Coco is brave enough to show everyone who Ernesto is... and in doing so, saves his family, and introduces them to the true beauty of music.
And they lived happily ever after.
The end.

Yes, e$pecially Jan - Oct but for $ome rea$on tithing $ettlement always kick$ off the annual undercurrent of $adne$$.

I think it remind$ her that I’m not temple worthy which a$ everyone know$ i$ the foundation of every cele$tial marriage.

I remind her there’$ more to marriage than temple ordinance$ and repetitive wor$hip in the Lord’$ Hou$e.
