H came home this morning to make breakfast, then he was in the mood to chitchat so we sat around and talked a bit, even watched some TV together. It makes my heart ache a little bit when we're having nice moments like these. Because I know it's fleeting. I enjoyed all the familiarity about him, but do I still love this man the way I did? I don't even know how to answer that.
Hugs, wooba.I felt the same way over the fleeting moments I shared with H this weekend. I was re-reading some of BluWave's first thread the other day, and I have all of those feelings about never in a million years thinking my H would do something like this, and now that I know he's capable of it... well, I don't think I could ever love him in the exact same way as before. I do think the love could be different, though. I go back to... do we even have to know how to answer that now?
That convo you had with your kids... oh, my heart aches there too. But most of all I think it shows that you're a strong, dependable, loving presence in their lives. They must feel that too.

We both laughed.
How terrible, but still somehow... funny. I was just asking a friend if there is a laughing-while-crying emoji.
