You regained trust in your husband because he made changes that addressed the issues you had problems with. Were they small changes/big changes? Was it about helping more around the house (maybe i'm blind but I don't ever this as being a dealbreaker), was it about him listening more and talking less (communication issue), was it about emotional support and if so specifically what kind of emotional support, was it an attraction issue: he let himself go and you felt like you were settling?
Yes I'm nosey but you are giving us gold here, it's very good stuff.
Geez, Rob, what are you, on a mission from God or something??
Mrs. Torantino's house
Jake: Mrs. Toronto? Mrs. Torantino: Torantino. Jake: Ma'am, do you have a Thomas Malone or Louis Marini living here? Mrs. Torantino: Not any more they moved out a long time ago. I don't take in borders, not for a long time. Jake: Did they leave a forwarding address? A phone number? Mrs. Torantino: No. Elwood: Did they live quietly? What were there personal habits? Mrs. Torantino: They were good boys, but they made a lot of racket at night. Are you the police? Elwood: No ma'am. We're musicians.
Hey Puppy, mission from God, good one ;-)
I am on a mission, not sure it's from God though (he may nudge me in a direction from time to time and give me thought bubbles of clarity from time to time), I think he has given me enough control of my life so that I will always remember to be personally responsible for it - that way I can't go blaming him when things go bad. I think more people should remember that in times of crisis regardless if it affects you personally or others in general. Free will & personal choice is where it's at.
I will say that I always find the insights from WAW's that have graciously posted on this forum (Greek, Sandi and a list of others) to be very valuable. We have our half of the equation to deal with but a peek inside the mind of a WAW in a similar situation can't hurt and usually helps us understand our efforts alot more.
I've said it before Puppy, your stuff is the $hit too, keep on posting, I love reading your posts of wisdom.
