Thanks Allen. They're tired, H went over there to reiterate that there's no chance for me and they are just getting worn down. They're as good as gold, as mentioned here before. They're going to back off now. MIL said everything she can say to H and he knows where they stand. He did tell them he has no immediate plans for D or moving out. So, I'm safe for now.
Lotus, very funny about your bedroom. I am backing off on in-laws for now. They've done so much, so I told them I'll keep them in the loop - but it's been two weeks and they're just worn down. I have lost 37 pounds so far, another 30 to go. Just got into size 13, I'm psyched. This may not be the healthiest way to lose weight, but it sure is effective and FAST. LOL.
I still want to take karate, but the class is $120 a month and we just don't have that right now. I was thinking since H is a third degree and teaches, he was teaching me but just procrastinated and I only got a few classes in - is this a good thing to ask him? (to teach me again) I don't want to be seen as pursuing, but he does know I've always wanted to do it. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to ask him...
H told MIL that he does not plan on contacting OW - who knows how long that will last, but hope it will be a while. I love how OW has been trying to say she's known him for 15 years before I did. Just got the whole story from MIL - back in high school, they SOMETIMES sat at the same lunch table and she "intimidated" him - he had a crush on her, and has "always carried a piece of her in his heart." She tried making it seem as if their "R" went back so much farther and deeper than ours did... Um, I was best friends with him for 4 years and then we've been living together, day in and day out - yes, even at the same lunch/dinner table - for 12 years. I have to laugh every time she throws that out there.
Anyway, heading out to see my dad/stepmom today with the kids. Keeping the ties between our families tight. Peace and PMA everyone. It WILL get better, for me and for you.
