I had lunch with my sister on Friday and she summed up her biggest stumbling block to forgiveness as this:
"I want to know that given the same set of circumstances, s/he would make a different choice and not go down the same road"
I thought that was a great way of summing it up...AND we weren't even talking about H or M or infidelity but about other stuff!
*********** Had a great weekend...Friday had lunch with sis and dinner (birthday) with brother and dad and stepmom. My dad is so angry all the time...but I didn't let it freak me out (for once!)
Saturday I ran some errands and h studied. We went over a friend's house for a BBQ -- it's h's best friend who recently moved back to the area. It was a very nice time...they also have two really great and funny kids.
Yesterday we both studied and I cooked h cassoulet in the crockpot (he's been asking for it). It came out GREAT! We took a walk yesterday afternoon and then watched TV last night.
It was just an amazingly calm weekend. H was incredibly loving and told me a bunch of times ILY AND he said "honey, I can feel how much you love me" which is EXACTLY what I need to hear.
Whoops! Gotta run!
