A new M--a new me, a new him!

[reachingHigher]

Hi guys!

Just a quick update so you know things are going along smoothly again!

I took job's advice (thank you!!!) and was low key when H came in. He was NOT distant and was very loving.

I, however, felt distant, but was kind. He asked if I didn't feel well and I said I was just sad because I wished he hadn't stayed out all night.

He told me what they did (clubs, drinking but not to excess, etc.). We worked together in harmony on different home projects.

Mid-morning H looked at me and said "I'm never going to drink again. (with fervor) I NEVER want to feel this way again!" I have never heard him say anything like that. It has always been "I'll drink more water next time."

I doubt that is exactly true that he will never drink again, but of course I didn't say that! That was Saturday and this is Tuesday and he hasn't had a drop and seems very content.

It just made me realize the wisdom of letting people figure stuff out on their own!

There was no emotional games played out here. I didn't punish him for being out all night and he didn't seem guilty or anything.

I got an email yesterday from him inviting me to a "party of 2" at a very nice restaurant for Valentine's Day.

I reflected this morning on our journey.

I realized that at times H & I feel like one person we are so close. I think this is that "higher love" he spoke to me of in a diner 2 weeks before expected D in December of 2012.

I realized that in time people discover and grow to who they want to be and I am fortunate that my H wanted to heal and grow.

In other news, we have moved to a 1 acre property and last Thursday I put our dome home on the market. I had numerous showings all weekend from myself and other realtors. The response was overwhelming!

By Sunday night I had 4 offers and one was full price, cash, as-is (so no inspection issues) closing ASAP but might take a couple of weeks. H & I are so grateful!

We worked hard over the years so had no mortgage on the house. We are making plans what to do with the money...accomplishing some goals and dreams...I see the light in my H's eyes and a contentment beyond words.

Thank you to all who have helped me along this journey

Thank you so much job and Forever for helping me to see this party-event from my H to be the small thing it was.

Thank you, 123Gwen, nero, seaspin, AJM, 2BHappy for the posts of encouragement!

I have completed one year of being a real estate agent so now I am no longer "provisional". I have more confidence, more knowledge and I wasn't one of the 90% that didn't make their first year! So happy and moving on to a great new 2015!!!
