Sounds like you and I are on the same "diet." It's our D's birthday weekend so we are hanging out all together for her; she wants nothing more than Mommy and Daddy with her. I don't blame her one bit. I'm trying to look my best. H wanted to know what my plans are since I am dressed and wearing make-up (a 180 from my usual weekend look.) Someone very close to me who has been in my shoes has given me some great advice and it's more or less on par with MDW's advice. She says I sound more positive all the time. H wants fantasy woman - intelligent, funny, cook, maid, SupeMom, and sex kitten. At least I can look all those things even if I don't feel it all the time.
Over the last few weeks I am really starting to see where we went wrong in our M and what I did to contribute to that situation. No more, I am done with that! I would have walked away from me too. I am going to live a life that keeps me, my child and hopefully one day my H fulfilled and feeling loved.
He is noticing my 180s now and then. Maybe he even wonders what is going on. He knows me well enough though I do worry if he wonders about the reason, meaning does he think these are genuine changes or lures to get him back. Only time will tell so I have to be patient.
I'm right in Bergen County. You, NJ, NY or CT?
