Holy Crap! Didn't expect THIS!

@lotus- you are right. I did some research and found insurance for half the cost, but the deductibles are pretty high--with stepson having MS and taking interferon shots every other day, it might be cheaper to go with cobra, at least for the next month. Then we'll have to figure out what to do. I wish they would have sent out the info, oh, say, last month instead of days before the insurance goes way. I feel like they have us over a barrel since there is not really time to shop around and we can't have stepson (inparticular) without insurance.

Anyway- H changed his relationship status to "it's complicated" on FB. I said that it couldn't stay that way forever because it feels like a non-commitment. He said he knew that and it won't. He wants me to get a new ring (his ring came monday and he is wearing it now) and then we'll have a photo taken of our hands with the new rings. Then post that on FB with some sort of 'announcement' that says something about new rings, new beginnings, growth for our love...(He said it MUCH better than I am saying here)...and it was HIS idea!

Then he played me a song he is working on that essentially talks about how I stood by him and that he loves me and we are bonded forever/we're one. (Something like that- it's a work in progress so he only played it once.)

He said something about how he feels compelled to write music. Whenever he says stuff about music, the very first thing that pops into my head is a few years ago when he said "I'm afraid I'm gonna cheat. Because you know how women are with lead singers of bands." (He wasn't even in a band at that point.) So, I said "It is hard for me to get really excited about your music because of what you said. I need you to take that back". So, he said "okay- i take it back." :| I explained that the tape that replays in my head is what he said I need something to replace it. He said "oh. okay. We're together. I had my chance and there wasn't anything out there. I know that now. It's just 'us'. We're committed."

Today I will gather up all the gold and rings I don't ever wear, and hopefully get enough money to buy the replacement ring and have a little left over.

I can't believe it- I am moving back in 3 days!
