mem thanks sooo much for your upbeat post it really did make me feel better. And yes if he did come back I want him to come back because HE wants to not because "its the right thing to do" and maybe he will miss me and maybe not all I know is that right now if it wasnt for S3 then I would have never saw him again after he left in June. I really dont know what the chances are of their R working I mean I only know about her what H tells me and of course thats nothing but good stuff and she is a very nice person and an honest person and she is so sweet to him crap. But everyone seems to think it wont last and it will run its course but H could be like I will stay with her just to prove you all wrong! Anyways yes I do need to fill the gab for S3 he is short a parent now and with me having to pick up a 2nd job I have a tough road ahead of me. Why is it that the person that doesnt want this is the person that has to work twice as hard to stay afloat while the one that leaves is "living the life" where is the justice in that! Oh and it seems H did go to work today he must have just hooked his trailer up and stayed at his buddies house last night. And the only reason I know that is because I got a short but sweet email from him today that said....got served today....and thats all it said he didnt sign it or nothing. I of course started crying when I read it and thought well that should make his day he got what he asked me to do so he should be able to go up to NC enjoy officially living with OW today and have a nice candlelight dinner tonight and they can toast to the fact that they have 1 down and 1 to go. I know my family supports me and my decisions and they know that if he came back I would give him a 2nd chance (that is if enough time hasnt passed and I change my mind) but my dad told me last night that if I took him back he would never accept it. And that got me to thinking if we did reconcile I want my family to be there to support it and thought what if they wont?? Would that influence my decision to try with him? Have any of you had family that said they wouldnt support it if you reconciled and if you did anyways did they really turn their back on you?? LostInFl
