So apologize to him. You let it go and he has to let it go, but it starts with you saying you're sorry. And you aren't really apologizing for going on the trip. You are apologizing to him for his bad feelings about it. Because whatever his reasons are for feeling angry about you going on that trip really isn't for you to judge. Just understand, right, wrong or different, he really is mad about it and yes, that's a really long time to be mad about something.
Why would you give up now?
I think everyone on this board is tired. Even the ones who just got here. Do you have any idea how long BeginnersMind has been fighting this out? She's amazing. This is a MARATHON.
You give up now, you are the one breaking the promise.....I have no idea what your vows were but I said For Better or For Worse.....didn't once mention giving up during the rough patches.....and for all of us, this is the latter, not the former.
Why would you want to quit now? What has happened lately or not happened that you want to stop?
My kid is too young right now so he probably won't remember the fight Mommy put up for this marriage, but I often keep going with this thought "I want my kid to be proud of me. I want him to think of me when he needs motivation after he hits those bumps in life and say 'My mother would fight this out...I know she would, I've seen her do it'."
I think your kids are teens right? Don't be a doormat, but you can fight for this with all your honor, respect and integrity on your sleeve.
