That is so sad about your aunt and uncle. I can certainly understand your aunt's anger and it sounds like your uncle was a pretty special guy to stick it out through a very difficult situation. I always told my xh that if something ever happened to me where I was seriously injured and required constant care, put me in the car, block the exhaust, and get out of town. Good thing nothing ever did considering what a coward he turned out to be.
From what I have read about reconcilliation, it sounds like it is very hard on both spouses. I commend you for getting through it and I am sure that it has left your bond even stronger than before. Not that you would do it again given the choice! When you say "becoming the person I actually liked again" do you think your h returned to the person he was before the MLC or do you feel that he is now a different and better person because of his experience?
In my case, I find it hard not to only remember the person he became in 2006; arrogant, entitled, materialistic, etc. and I am not sure the old person will ever return nor that he would want him to. People who believe that xh is in a MLC think that he will try to apologize to me some day for what he has done but I don't agree.
It is starting to warm up a little but, officially Spring or not, it will snow again in April. It always does.
I do usually take my vacation in the summer and plan to this year as well. I have a friend in British Columbia who I may visit or I may try to talk another into a trip to Ireland. She has 3 children, however, so it can be hard to find someone willing to look after them for extended periods as they are all boys. Her husband died 5 years ago. This should put me in a little more debt than I need but I would like to get away.
What about you? Are you planning any vacations away with your family once the kids are out of school?
