Blended Families

Had a great time

So I went to the wedding this weekend alone. And I had a GREAT time! I think I actually had a better time since DH wasn't there. Don't get me wrong. I would have loved for him to have come, but I probably would not have stayed for the whole reception and definitely would not have gone out with my old friends afterward if he had been there. I ended up being out til 1am! I saw so many old friends from college, and just had a blast. I didn't drink a drop since I was driving alone, of course, but it felt like I was actually only 23. Oh wait, I am 23! It was good to get out this weekend.

And a friend who drove in from Arkansas stayed the night at my grandmother's with me so she wouldn't have to make that late night trip back. And then I caught up with my bestie the next day.

And on top of it all, DH and I had a WONDERFUL evening when I got home last night and we were both ecstatic to see each other, like it had been forever. And we had a real heart to heart about some things, and he said he had done a lot.of thinking while I was gone. He said he could see so many areas where I was trying so hard and he was just running over me and taking it for granted. He actually laid out a few things he is going to do to make sure that we are his number one priority. He apologized and we both talked about what we were needing and lacking. And I was honest with myself and him, telling him what was building up some major resentment in me.

It has been an all out wonderful weekend!

    Good to hear, I'm glad that things turned out positively for you. It sounds promising just guard your heart and know that the negatives will still come. I know you know that though.

  • I'm so glad you had a great time and it worked out.  Sometimes you need a little time apart to appreciate each other more.  It definitely sounds like you had a better time without him, but that's ok, because it was your friends and you could party with them without worrying that he was having fun. You are allowed to have fun without each other Smile. It's a good thing.

    Also glad to hear you guys talked, sounds like it went well.

    TTC since 3/2010. Me 41, DH-49. After 3 years, 6 IUIs and several IVFs we have finally have our beautiful baby girl, born on 11/7/13.



  • I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourself and you're happy with the talk you and DH had. Remember that actions speak louder than words though. I hope DH really does step it up for you guys!

  • I have been worried about you since your post a long time ago about you and your DH. I am really, really happy for your weekend (you need to be 23 sometimes) and your welcome home.  I agree with the advice to be cautious and offensive and make sure self preservation is top priority.  Still very happy for you!!!
