RPP: Best Year Ever (18)

[Jefe]

Your H is going for a week, you say they go for the summer, is there any opportunity to go out there after your H and still see them?

I am totally not explaining myself well here. This trip is more than a week for everyone, including H and (formerly) me and my kids. Yes, it's possible that I go there without H. I don't want to. I want to be part of the magical summer that I've had for 27 years. The one where we escape the city and my kids roam free and I relax with family and neighbors that I've known forever. And it's not the same experience without H, just trust me on that and don't make me explain why.

I appreciate that everyone is trying to give me a different perspective, I really do. I'm just in a funk about this, this is not changing a week's vacation plan, this is removing something that's been a significant part of my life.

I've understood exactly what you've been saying. I have no desire to give you a different perspective. I just want you to know I COMPLETELY get it. It hurts. Wish I had the magic power to fix it. I also hope that I don't offend anyone here at all when I say , some things a new "tradition" just aren't going to fix. For me it's sad because everyone looses, whether they admit it or not.

And BTW, I'm with Zeus. It's more likely that most guys out there aren't in YOUR league than the other way around.

(((rpp))) You almost feel like your family to me.
