Still...mana mana, doo doo doo doo doo! Part 3

[Tallula]

So H spent the weekend at the house. Showed up wearing his wedding ring. Which he has never worn. That never bothered me, but this was a big deal. He pointed it out, said "I know you haven't decided whether you want to try with us, but I'm going to live like I'm married. I plan to show you action." I was taken aback and said "Wow, that means alot..." He said "Yeah, this is a really big deal for me. I hope you know that when I stood up on that altar, I was pledging to be with only you. I had no intention..." he trailed off then said "words are stupid, I plan to show you. If you are done, you are. But I will like I'm married until we aren't."

He asked me out on a date, got a sitter. We had a great time.

I'm going to let him move back into the basement. He's moving in this week. I don't want to define anything. I don't know what to say to anyone else. I don't know that I will or won't try with him again. I just know I'm watching his actions. I know what I'm worth today. I said that to him. "I don't want pretty good. There are many men out there who will love me, treat me with respect and not cheat on me. I only want you to be here because you want me. You want only me. I don't expect perfection, but I will be someone's something special. I won't have anything less." He said "Of course, my god, that's been my problem our whole R. I've never felt I deserve you. I want to start being a man who does deserve you."

We'll see. We'll see. But he did put his dishes in the dishwasher all weekend...which was more times than the previous 8 years of marriage...
