Now you know if it was to ever workout with your H then there would be a whole lot of change that he would have to be willing to do..
Definately...no settling for less. I don't think there will be any chance of reconciling with H. He just doesn't have it in him to be the man that I want. When I asked him why he couldn't be what I deserve after he told me that I deserve better, he said because his heart wasn't in it...what a lame excuse. He will continue to live his life in this miserable state because then he doesn't have to improve himself. One of his famous lines was "I don't have to change for anyone".
Hopefully, you and I will both have fun on our mini-vacations. We definately deserve it. We are going to Navy Pier and of course, going to do some shopping. We aren't going until Monday, so maybe it won't be so crazy by then...but like you said I'm used to crazy. Should be a good time...we are staying at the Sheraton on the river and it looks like it's fairly close to a lot of things. I'm going with H's mom, sister, and nieces...let's hope H doesn't find out...he'll be furious.
