I'm sorry things didn't quite workout last night, don't let it get you frustrated it's just another step the Good Lord is wanting you too take. IMHO the way you handled it was right even though it crushed your heart {{{HUGS}}}.
I hope you hear something soon on the deployment and as usual will keep you and your family in my prayers....
Okay, the ship is still at the pier. Now they are saying they may not pull them out, but they are not letting anyone off the boat right now, either, in case they change their mind.
Courtesy of them making H check in off of leave yesterday, he will now have to report for duty tomorrow, making him spend all day tomorrow, his technically last full day in port, on the ship. He is NOT going to be a happy man!!
I hope they make a decision soon, though, so if possible they can get off the boat for dinner.

Hi Bro! When are you going to start a new thread?
Things will work out when they can and I know that. If H sleeps upstairs again, though, I am not sleeping on the sofa. No expectations, but I do not like not sleeping in my bed.
We are thinking things may be back on track for a Mondat deployment. We will know something by tonight, hopefully.
I know it will, and I have a bit more faith than a mustard seed--at least most days I do.

sorry about him being gone possibly even more. Whatever happens, God's got it planned out perfectly!
on the sleeping sitch, for some reason, my feelings are for you and H NOT to ML yet. I think you kissing him is all that needs to be, and it gives you the chance to be forward, and it's not a huge leap like ML would be. and I agree, that it would be fine for you to allow HIM to be the one to ML or not. But I think it can be YOU to initiate the physical stuff to begin with to let him know with actions that you are okay with it and you want him in that way.
on telling him about your forgiveness. I did this too with my H. I think if you just write him the letter about it, that it would be all that you need. but if you really feel God leading you to say something orally, than let the spirit lead. .

I am not even checking the mail with him home. I just hope the mailman leaves it out there and not as he did yesterday, to the door. I really hope he gets to get off and see you one more time, and the children. OMG that boat is huge, I can see why you call it a floating city! Ya know one thing I wont give up is my bed, 2 of my children go back and forth, so he can sleep in S's bed, the couch or the RV, I am to old and sore to not sleep in my bed! its all up to him where he goes, and when, not to say i dont cry when he doesnt come in, but i am not giving up my bed! hugs to you dear friend, lots of love and prayers to you!

I think sleeping in the same bed is a start. Be there, hold him and see where it goes.

Thanks for all ya'll's input on the sleeping arrangements. We will see what happens.
They have just called liberty on the ship--except if you are duty section today or tomorrow. However, leave period does not expire until 7:30 Sunday. I ahve not heard from H yet, so do not know if he is now considered off leave and therefore stuck on the ship, or if he is back on leave and able to leave.! UUUGGGHHHHH
Will let ya'll know what is going on.
