MAJOR TURN OF EVENTS!!! HE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess over the last couple of days he has been packing his things & they have been arguing a lot. He says he was just tired of being there but didn't know how to get out of it. Well, he came home from school & the rest of his things were packed & a note telling him to come & get the rest after she left work; which he did & brought the stuff home. He is planning on moving the things from his parents home today after school. He stayed at home with me last night & we talked a lot about everything that has been going on. He has been more open with me & his parents about all that has gone on. He went to his parents after school & his Mom was there. They talked for a long time about what he had done & what he wanted for the future. He ACTUALLY told his Mom he knew he didn't want to be w/OW & that he knew for sure he wanted to be w/me. That is the first time since all this has started that he has told them that. In the past he would say "he didn't know what was going to happen...he didn't want to get our hopes up". He seems optimistic about the future & us staying together. I asked some questions & he answered without hesitation or even anger. The new shift he is on at work is more family oriented & the guys he has become friends with like to do things as couples; unlike his last set of friends. He has promised me that he won't do anything with them outside of work until I meet them & spend time with them; this NEVER happened with the guys from the other shift. I had to BEG to meet even one of them!! I am hopeful, but only going to take this one day at a time, we have a long road ahead of us. I was worried about OW contacting him & he laughed & assured me that he had been so hateful to her over the last couple of weeks that she really wanted nothing to do with him. I told him that eventually I would like him to be able to leave his work pager on while he was home (this was how they communicated when he lived at home). He said after we had worked through adjusting to being together again, he would. He just said he wanted no chances of her even trying for some reason. You just never know what she is going to try & do!! I guess time will tell but for now...one day at a time & TONS of prayer!!!
