So, the toughest part of piecing for me was the realization that there would be no "Big Hollywood Moments" where she came to me, made a tearful confession, begged my forgiveness, and pledged to work on the M with me. Instead, it was a continuation of the long, slow series of baby steps I had seen earlier.
I used to think I would want the grand gesture--chest beating, tears, begging forgiveness. I know it is not now. First of all, that is not my H's personality. Second of all, just having him recommit would be all I need. The apology will eventually come in time, but even when it does, it will not be necessary, because it will be understood by his actions.
Deployment started today, Rob. I have seven months to work on me. I hope I can get this right!
