So... (DH Update)

After lots of tears & confusion yesterday, DH & I have decided to work on things. He's already agreed to come home tonight.

I don't want to go into too much detail... But I've done shitty things. He's done shitty things. We know what we did, we know why we did it & we're taking the steps to make sure it never happens again. We've agreed that we need to put most of this behind us & just move forward with what we've learned.

That & I think he had a serious Come to Jesus moment with our counselor yesterday. I know I did with myself. I pushed away what was clouding my judgment & felt clarity for the first time in awhile. For the first time, he's acknowledging & legitimizing a major issue I've had that has been the source of the vast majority of our problems. His acknowledgement is by far the biggest step. I thought it was over between us because I honestly thought he was never going to see it. But he does now & that completely changes the ballgame.

  • Like I said before, you're the only one that can make these decisions and we're here to support you. Coming from a place of experience, things don't change overnight, but if you're both really committed and willing to do the work, it can get better.

    I know. Like I said, the big game changer was his recognition of what I'd been trying to explain. That's changed my willingness to put in the work & he is too.

  • Good for you, CD. This is one of those things where only you can know what's right and you have to be absolutely confident in your decisions. If by evaluating things and putting in the work that your relationship needs, you've both found a way that you think you can move on and continue to work on things, I think it's very admirable. Whatever happens for you all in the future, you'll know you took the time and steps to make the best decision for you. I hope things continue to move in the right direction.

  • That's awesome that you two are dealing with things in such a mature manner. I hope that it will be exactly what you need, both for each of you personally and as a couple. At least you know that you are both in it wholeheartedly now.

  • I just read your announcement on the way home but didn't have time to post, and now I'm glad I didn't :) That's really great that he has confronted the major issue and is willing to put some work into it. I hope for both of your sakes that it's what you need.

    Either way, I know I haven't been around much, but you know that you can b!tch to me any time. I happily receive b!tchy texts 24-7 ;)

  • Cool, CD! I wish you guys the best!
  • I can only imagine how difficult this is and has been for you two.  I hope you are both able to move forward and cultivate a strong, loving relationship.
