Very excited this morning. The kids and I are off to go and pick up H at the airport and then to pick up the older 2 at University. We are going to have such a great week!! Wishing you all a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
Hi BND, A Very Happy Thanksgiving. Definitely a great deal to be thankful for... Thank you for the warm wish. I am sure you'll have a wonderful week. ~PH
Congrats on finally seeing some light at the end of a very long tunnel - yor made it thru with perseverence and here you are! That is absolutely wonderful!
I would love to read your "begining" posts - your situation sounds a lot like mine...What was your name before you changed it?
Wow!!!! I'm soooooo happy for you and your family. What a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! I hope you get lots of photos with plenty of hugs and kisses. This will be something special to remember when you are both old and grey sitting in rocking chairs on the front porch.
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
I am so stinkin happy for you!!!! You have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving as well your husband does for having such a loving wife who stood by him when not many would have!!!

I'm sure you're having a wonderful weekend, as you so richly deserve! I hope that H is treating you like a queen!
I want to thank you for your recommendation of "The Solo Partner." I received it a couple of weeks ago, and I flipped through it right away. However, I thought I would give myself a break from R stuff and look at me stuff. Anyway, I picked it up again last night and read about pursuit and distance--what a revelation! I was the classic pursuer. When I looked at the characteristics of the Pursuer, there were very few that didn't fit me. And guess who I married? Yup, a Distancer.
This has given me some insight into what I need to do now:
1 - back off on contact again, incl responding to his contact. He knows I like and love him, so I'm not afraid of sending the wrong message. It might just shake him up a little.
2 - Look at the Pursuer list again, and see in which ways I am still like that. I have grown and changed a lot, but I must resolve this before I start a new R, be it with H or anyone else.
Thanks so much, Nicola
