I've finally come out of hiding and decided to move here to Piecing. I'm scared to death that I'm jumping the gun, but Newcomers is no place for me anymore.
It's weird. When I first came here, I didn't want to really read the happy stories. I wanted to read other people's threads that were in the same place as mine. So, since H and I are on the road to recovery I think this will be a good place.
I'll give a quick re-cap since I have no clue how to link threads:
-Me: 29, domestic goddess -H: 31, Sales Mgr. -Kids: 2 - Son 3 and Daughter 21 months -Bomb: Dec. 29, 2002 "I don't love you anymore" -Issues: (Me)Lots of built up resentment regarding H's work schedule, non-involvement in family since D born, really annoying FF...very pushy, over-involved in H's life, disrespectful to me, hidden agenda H refuses to see. -H's Issues: I'm not supportive enough, too much nagging, not fun anymore, stopped being wife, just mom. -Found DR at the end of January. Baby steps started within a week or two. -Currently: No ILY's but just this past Saturday, H told me he was recommited to our M and "Full steam ahead" with plans for our life together. We met some new neighbors on Sunday and he actually mentioned us having a 3rd child (had always been in the plans and obviously on hold right now). -I am currently in the throes of planning a list of issues that I believe we have and some initial solutions to go along with them. Trying very hard to leave off, "Fire FF" (FF is one of H's employees)
So that's about it. I hope I get to meet lots of new friends over here and yet still hear from my old buddies at Newcomers! I know, I know, I'm greedy for hits!
