Hi, MZ. I don't consider your post a hijack at all! Good for you for standing your ground. Be confident in the fact that you love your husband and are doing what you believe is best for your life and family. To heck with what others think or believe. My guess is that by talking about your situation, they are trying to hide their own skeletons in their closets (EVERYONE has them!). I'm glad you had a friend there who stood up for you. As far as what they think about your husband, they don't have to be married to him, nor do they have to like him! There are always going to be people out there who have the potential of derailing us. My best advice is to put it out of your mind as best you can and don't even honor the situation by telling your husband about it.
As for me and my situation, things are MUCH better than they were a week and a half ago! My husband slowly started thawing a bit as I backed off and gave him time and space to do so, and we had an incredible weekend out of town for one child's soccer tourney and celebrating another's birthday. Please keep me, my marriage and my family in your prayers over the next few days, as we will be with my side of the family for Thanksgiving. I want my husband to feel welcome and comfortable, so it's up to my family to be loving and accepting to him. My only worry is with my Mother, so pray especially hard for her!
I hope all of my DB friends (heck, my DB family!) has a blessed Thanksgiving! love and hugs, lc4
