By this time I was soooo done. I told him earlier that day that this isn't the life I want. I don't want an H that doesn't love me. I don't want an H that comes and goes as he pleases. I don't want an H that gives absolutely no time to his family. I don't deserve any of that. I finally stuck up for myself. Let the fear go. It was so refreshing to finally do what I want. And say what I want. It felt good to be so liberated, and free. No more eggshells, I couldn't deal anymore. It was bringing me down one step at a time. So I did it. And it changed our life.
. . . He told me that at work today it all of a sudden hit him. That this time he could really lose me. . . When he left it was on "his" terms. If he wanted to come home he could. He knew I would be there with open arms. So sure, he came home and there I was.
He said this time was different, this time he felt like HE was losing ME. And it scared him to death. It made him realize that that is not what he wants. He wants me and the kids and this family.
BINGO!!!
Robx, take a bow!
