Husband loved the lasagna, he ate 4 helpings! He took the rest home with him.
He was the loving, fun husband I remember from long ago!
We saw Bruce Almighty at the $1 theatre. That movie was great, had us both laughing uproariously.
Only one scene in that movie really upset me. Grace/Jennifer Aniston is praying to God to help her forget Bruce/Jim Carey. She says, "I love him, but the pain is too much. I just want to stop hurting."
Oh...the pain of that. I think I prayed that exact same prayer.
I was very aware of my knee touching his knee at the time and being grateful that we are begining to live our own 'happy ending'.
After the movie, he suggested that we go walk around in the Botanical Gardens.
We did, got all sweaty. Very good exercise. I talked to him about Body for Life and he sounded impressed that I has started. Said he wanted to work out with me.
Folks, he made me feel special. Told me I was beautiful 2 minutes after pulling into the driveway at the begining of our date.
We drove to look at some duplexes that I want us to live in. He liked them.
He told his roomates he's moving in with me. They said, "We figured!" Another babystep on my goals list!
At the end of our date, he began kissing me. Those kisses could have been the begining of something steamy. But he said, "Be careful, or you'll have to take a cold shower!"
At one point in the car, I showed him a spider bite (?)on my neck. Not really sure what it was, but I pointed it out and told him, this is not a hickey!
He grinned and said, I don't mind if you make out with anyone as long as you kick them out when I come over.
I scowled and said, "I've been loyal to you. Haven't been with anyone."
He said, "Really?"
"Really."
Later on he hugged me close and said, "Thank you for waiting for me." He looked teary eyed.
Another high point, we were in the car driving back from Botanical Garden and I said, "I hope you don't get mad at me for saying this again, but I don't regret being seperated this past year. I think it was good for us and I've become a better person.
He reached for my hand and said, "Yes you have. And I think I've changed too. I get less angry now. I've become more tolerant."
Wao... thats for me means a lot... that can means your h maybe had talked to your MIL abouy you and you h together again... Great... good for you...!! andrea
I think you are right, her invite shows that Monkey really did tell her that he's moving back in with me, in my town.
So, something I want to journal.
Saturday, I tried to call Monkey to tell him not to bring bike because I hurt my toe.
I called his work, but they said he had the day off. He'd told me Friday that he'd be working.
I was upset, felt like he'd lied to me.
I called him that night and told him I was upset, felt like he'd lied. He told me he hadn't lied, explained that he'd worked extra hours friday so that he could take saturday off, but that he was supposed to work saturday. Then he asked me what he could do to make me feel better. And he asked if I still wanted him to come for our date sunday.
I told him I didn't know what he could do to make me feel better, but that I still wanted him to come visit and that I had worked hard making his lasagna even though I was upset.
Sunday, during our date, he asked to see my toe and then showed me his hurt toe. He then told me that he was sorry I had gotten so upset. That he wouldn't lie to me because that would ruin our attempts at our new marriage. And he got all teary eyed when he said that.
He was sitting in the lazyboy and I was on the floor, so I kneeled up and hugged him.
So, I can see that he's really trying. And I told him that part of the reason I was so upset was because I couldn't get in touch with him when I was upset.
It blows me away that he's getting teary eyed so often.
He used to never allow me to see him emotionally vulnerable.
And the things he's gotten teary eyed about show that he's scared of losing me...or perhaps realizing how close he came?
Dunno. But I feel humbled and flattered.
From what I understand of DBing, I shouldn't have said anything about being upset about him lying..but was afraid if I didn't, I'd be a miserable date.
So, I think the results were good, but y'all can smack me with a 2 x 4 if I really deserve it!
