There are bad days mixed in with the good, no matter how ideal our lives may be. Stir in a little PMS, stress, and "whatever", and that is one potent cocktail. It's the overall picture you must look at, not the specific little incidents that try to "throw you off". You did the right thing...listening to him, but standing your ground. He is looking for your moment of weakness...your weak spot...so be understanding but stick to your guns.
You are right! That is a great attitude to have! I know my comment to your last post encouraged you to have him see that it isn't just because of your new love, but he also has to understand that you DO have a new love and you rather be with him. You can assure him that you, more than likely, would choose a new life for yourself, anyway, so "don't blame the new guy!" It's your choice and you are happy with it! You'd still like to be friends, but that's all it can be.
That was a lot of good stuff. You are doing really well and, hopefully, your husband will be fine too and you can remain good friends. As you needed some time and support, he does, too, so you should keep doing as you've doing and encourage him to do and try positive things that will help him through these changes. It may be a little easier for you to feel the way you do because of the new and happy love you are now enjoying, but you and he should know that your getting back together may not have happened even if this new happiness of yours wasn't going on. I'm sure he wants you to be happy, but he may feel that you would still be closer to him if it wasn't for your new "friend"...so he has to understand that it isn't just that making you want to move on instead of move back.
You know, it wasn't all that long ago that I used to read your posts to see how you were doing, to make sure you were ok, and to be supportive. Now I read your posts to smile.
Vista gremlin! Darn, I laughed so hard when I read this! Hit 1 next time and see how many you get...you just might be surprised!

Did you look in the MILKY Way?
Hey, I know exactly how scary it can be! I was married to an epileptic for 15 years and went out with him for three years prior to the marriage. The first REAL seizure (grand mal) he had that I saw was on the plane on our way to Florida for our honeymoon! It got easier, but then it got a heck of a lot harder...(oh, that's a whole other story. Sorry.)
I've had that, too...not all years, though, for some reason. This is the time of year I can get bronchitis, too...and a couple of times the doctor said pleuresy. I don't like the pain meds, either, but I took them on the couple of days I knew I was going to be home. By easing the symptoms and being more comfortable, I believe it helped me get better quicker.
What a relief! I know you were worried...well, because you're a worrier and because Jolie's one of your babies! I'm so glad everything turned out ok.
I will read this if there are Cliff's Notes or Monarch Notes to go with it!
I watched the show quite regularly. I went to NYC to see and inspect the ship, too. When reruns of the show appear on TV every once in awhile, I'll catch a bunch of episodes.
I might read this, but not until I've brushed off a bunch of others.
I've wanted to try some of his books, but I haven't as of yet.
