Finding our way back to family-hood.

[slow_it_down]

I think I'm at the part of the climb back up the mountain where your pack feels lighter and suddenly breathtaking views outnumber dangerous cliffs and mudslides.

My husband 's house is finally on the market, we are on the same phone plan again and are starting to work on a joint will. Our relationship satisfaction is pretty darn high and STABLE for the first time in a long time.

There are days where life is easy, happy and filled with smiles. There are days when I can't stop thinking about the OW and all that my H's second life robbed from us. On those days I tell myself to just keep pressing forward, believing that in time even old and seemingly insurmountable wounds can heal.

My H finally seems free from OW and the difference in my H is black and white. He's working hard on our relationship and is going out of his way to meet my needs in ways he never did before. He's pitching in at home in meaningful ways and is making my life easier instead of harder for a change which is great.

Being the only one trying to save our marriage for so long was exhausting but worth it. I finally feel safe letting my hair down without panicking that every disagreement could lead to being served divorce papers. I'm not "out of the woods" but I'm feeling positive about things and wanted to share this update.
