OH - forgot to mention my mom pulled me aside to "talk" Sunday. She and my dad kind of sense things between W and I. My mom is afraid that I am going to allow myself to be hen-pecked into submission. I reminded her that I had a role in the meltdown of my marriage and that some things I choose to keep private no matter how close she wants our family to be. She also mention her and my dad leaving soon. Looking like in the next 3-4 weeks. I can live with that. In the talk I really stood up for myself and my W. I found myself wondering as she was talking how in the h3ll does she (and my dad, for that matter) think that her level of trust in my W means anything to me? Don't egt me wrong, it was a good talk and I think I set some boundaries - but geez - it's time they realize I have a W and family and I am not 12.
If my H had responded like you?? Pardon my crudity, but I would have done him right then and there! OMG! He wouldn't have known what hit him, but I guarantee it would have left a huge smile on his face.
Obviously this is a problem area for us, but what a comfort to know that some men actually know how to "leave and cleave."
