I am really starting this just so I maintain my presnse here. I am NOT gone for good, but rather just taking time to branch out and get some things done in my life that I have put off the entire time of the trauma despite my GAL efforts.
I am still lurking and will jump in if needed.
I hope you all had the best V-day possible. I know it can be a rough time. Trust me, last year's was possibly the worst day of this whole ordeal beyond the initial bomb day.
This year was a whole different story. I decided to totally surprise my W and get her original diamond from her engagment ring re-set into a pendant. She wanted to do this back when we replaced her ring but for some reason (money) we didn't do it. I found the ring in her jewlery box and got a custom mounting made for it.
I was REALLY nervous that she would either not like it, or hate that I spent the money but neither was the case. She actually cried she was so happy. She told me later in the middle of (still wearing the necklace and nothing else) that it was things like that, me thinking of the right thing to get her, that really let her know how much I love her...and then she gave me the rare ILY and said she didn't say it nearly enough (hey, 2 times a year, but who's counting, lol).
Needless to say, it was a REALLY good day/night so I am here to tell you, it CAN get better, it really can.
I wish ALL of you the same luck I think I have had.
