Actually, funny that you mention the "needing time to get over him" thing. On the 2nd ugly phone conversation with H, when he was spewing his venom about us not working out etc., I said that regardless I needed a year to get over him, so I might as well try to make it work during that time. I thin kit threw him for a loop.
I think it's so true though. We do our best to make the Rs work, and if they don't, we are so strong and so content in the fact that we did everything humanly possible that we would probably be able to move on in record time (if needed).
Sorry about the drama with your H's family, but there always has to be drama of SOME kind right? Money, family, sex, religion etc. I wouldn't worry about the family thing being a big deal to your H now. He is still partly an alien, so he will think of everything under the sun that he can use against you. It will get better...
