So.. there is some hope.. even though it is not much?
He said it. He's still here. I have to believe that is something.
We had an argument yesterday, our first one since all of this blew up. We've been walking on glass around each other the past few months and we actually had an honest argument where we just let out our feelings. It was over in about 3 minutes. Even though it wasn't a big deal, I can't help but be encouraged that we are relaxing a little with each other and that we can have conflict over something minor and it not turn into a huge deal about the big picture. I am also glad I was able to stick up for myself instead of just letting it go because I am afraid he's going to leave. I have little boys and I cannot let them see that it is ok to treat a woman as a doormat.
My parents came to visit this past weekend. They have no idea we're having these problems. They've been married for over 40 years and they were telling us about their "5 year plan". I'm trying so hard to just get through the week and see each day as a success. I would so love to have a 5 year plan!
