I think your husband is very impressed with what you have accomplished in your new venture, and that you've been able to get work outside the home. And he should be.

I also agree with naej.

What you are able to earn may only be covering some of your own expenses, but those are now expenses that your H does not have to be responsible for. That may not seem like much to you, but I'm sure it's a relief to him.

And I don't know that this is a 100% bad thing.

Whether they would admit it or not, I think alot of our Hs egoes are tied to their work, and how well they can support their families and homes. Your Hs ego has been bruised considerably. As much as he may appreciate you working now to cover some of the expenses, it also has to be a setback to his own sense of self and how he's been living his life.

He more than likely is looking at you differently now, looking at OW differently...and certainly looking at himself differently than he did the past year.

He may not be liking what he sees...the fantasy he had in his head of what his life 'should' be, and his life 'would' be...you know, all of those fantasies they have when they decide to try the grass on the other side of the fence.

I'm positive he is very pleased and proud of what you've accomplished. I'm also sure he's feeling relief that more responsibility has been taken off his shoulder. I just hope this less stress allows him to really meditate on what he wants for himself and his family and home.

I pray he makes ammends with his father soon. As so many of us have found out, life is short...and so many things can be left unsaid, only because we hesitated in taking the first step. Only to have time run out by God calling someone home unexpectantly.

Women are angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick. We are flexible
