Hi Opt,

I'm still amazed when reading this, and can't believe that these great updates are from the same person who posted last week, so upset she couldn't sleep.

The ring and the ILYs, absolutely amazing! I would kill for either one of those things in my own sitch and I have it pretty good.

The fact that he is saying he's happy he married you is also massive. If you're making plans for the future now, then hopefully you can relax a bit. I am deliriously happy for you. I do think Daisy is right though, in terms of asking too much too soon. Your H might still be a bit skittish if pushed, and will probably need to talk about the issues in his own time. What I can say though, as someone in a situation where things are good even if not as clear as yours, is that it becomes really easy to get resentful and angry when dwelling on things like the reasons for S. It's as if once we get the chance to relax a bit, then we have the space to allow in those feelings we'd done so well keeping at bay, those feelings of disbelief that our loved one would have abandoned us etc. Maybe you won't have the same experience, but I think it's something to watch out for.

Please keep us posted on your progress! \:\)
