So this is where you've been hanging out. I kept reading references to this apology on Autumn's threads. I kept going back to re-read previous threads to find the reference point. Tonight I'm "surfing" some of the other forums to see what's new. Lo and behold...I found you!!!!
What fantastic news. As I have told you before I have come to trust your advice and wisdom. It positively emanates from your postings. Nobody deserves this more than you. You already know this, but I will go ahead and give you the word of caution. Take it SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWWW. You are where you have wanted to be. Just remember that your H is miles behind you in your journey, and he has much catching up to do. It is important that you keep your expectations realistic. Things will still need to happen on his timetable rather than yours.
My prediction is that once he begins to catch up to you your mutual journey will pick up speed. There will be many speed bumps on the journey, but those are simply opportunities for each of you to learn more about the other.
Boy, this cowboy wishes he were in your boots right now. Things are looking better in my situation, but I certainly do not expect an apology to ahppen like you had. I am hearing sincere "thank you's" and receiving many hugs and even a kiss the other day. I continue to give my wife space and unconditional acts of love.
