H called last night and said he wants to come home!
I've heard H say these words before .. but he never followed through. In fact I was convinced a couple of times that H would be coming home for sure .. I even posted on Cinders' List of Restored Marriages.
So, I was happy to hear those words last night but my excitement was tempered by his past actions.
But there are differences between this time and the others:
. He was sober . He was not angry with OW (just tired of it all) . He owned up to his bad behavior and said the blame belonged to no one but himself
I told him that if he was serious about it this time, he would have to keep moving forward and no more "steps back". He said he was very serious and he would keep me posted on his "situation" at his house (meaning the OW).
We talked about an hour and covered a lot of ground, mostly to convince me that he is serious about wanting to come home.
Getting rid of OW will be the first test and it will be no easy task. He has tried in the past to get her out of his life.
He is driving home this weekend to try again to get her out once and for all. I think he senses that I have moved on and will no longer be taken in by empty talk and half-azzed reconciliation attempts.
Anyway, just between us on this board, I am very happy and very hopeful that H can follow through this time. I never stopped loving him .. just stopped telling him for awhile.
I just wanted to get this latest development on here and will keep you updated on his progress. I am still grounded enough to know that it might very well fizzle again.
