I surprised my H last night at work with a stocking full of his favourite things. He asked me to wait at his house until he got off work this morning so we could spend Christmas morning together. We had a brief R talk. He is trying to open up to me, but still struggling. I'm cautious, we both have so much to work on. We haven't talked specifics (IC, MC, etc.) but agree that neither one of us wants to end our marriage. We have the gift of time. See where this goes, no expectations. I will gently suggest he get some IC. He needs to figure some stuff out and I will continue my IC to work on my co-dependence issues.
He is giving me a key to his apartment and asked if I would like to leave some stuff there for when I go see him (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.)
On another note. Had a great time at my sons house Christmas Eve. Helped his gf cook dinner. My mom, brother, daughter and the gf parents came. Food was great! The little guy loved all his presents. Tomorrow I get to face the crowds of shoppers on Boxing Day with my mom.
Life is good! Remembering to count my blessings, one of which is this wonderful online community. Without this board and all the kind, understanding people I feel I would have not been able to get through the dark times, the lows in the roller coaster. Here, people truly understand the incredible pain we go through and the sometimes "insane" hope we have for our M. We are gently guided to GAL and to move forward, not move on. When we fail, we are not judged here, we are encouraged to try again. Regardless of the outcome of our sitch, people are happy for us as long as we are happy.
