Partner left after 9 yrs - reconciled now married!

[AliSuddenly]

Hey Jeff, Kat, Michelle.. thanks for your kind replies!

Thats exactly it.. its distance! British people think 3 and a bit hours in the car is a once a year thing because its "so far" away. But Americans would think nothing of doing a 2 hour commute every day (although it woudnt be fun!). For me and H, we dont mind driving that far many times a year to see people and family, but for them, its more of a trek and the longer we've lived here, the less inclined they are to make the journey I suppose.

We do have some very good friends locally though, just not really any bar one couple, that you feel you could call at 4 in the morning when you are tired and frazzled and need someone to come help.

So anyway, had the 7 week scan today and... all is a-ok! Its all healthy, textbook, strong heartbeat, right size and in exact right place top centre and... only one ! H was very emotional and cried a bit, but I was more relieved than excited
