I finally had an epiphany

That I've waited three weeks for.  Well, really for five months.  Well, really truly for 7 months.

I love my husband!  I know all of this is news to most of you, but ask Hippy or Bug - I have been dealing with this for a long time.  I finally realized today that no man measures up to my DH and our family.  Lust and chemistry and adoration are one thing, but real, deep, lasting love is another.  Today has been a rollercoaster ride, and so has the last couple of weeks.  But I finally can look at my husband and tell him I love him and want to be with him.

Corny as it sounds, I think the effer prayers worked.

Re: I finally had an epiphany

  • I am crying.  I am so relieved for you.  I've been thinking and worried all day but it's never been a good time to call.

    THANK GOD!

    I'm still here if you need me.  

    And LOVE YOUS!

    huge ((((hugs)))) to you.  You have been so good to me.  I cannot express how much your support and time have meant to me.

    I have been crying to DH all night, just looking at him and telling him I love him and this is going to work.  I don't know what happened, but something did.  God answered my prayers.

  • I was just thinking of you and hoping you were getting some peace and answers (whatever they might be). I hopped on here to see if there was any update and I see this. Know that you are strong and EFFer vibes are strong for you to be the best wife/mother you can be.

  • I'm so glad for you!
  • I'm really happy for you!! I sent you a PM this morning, but forgot to page you! I'm glad all the good thoughts helped!
  • i'm very happy for you and hope everything works out from here on out.
  • I also know that this doesn't make it all better...and that it's going to take some work.  But this is a huge step.

  • Wow- this is so great to hear!  I know it's just one step in getting to where you want to be in your marriage but knowing you want to stick it out and make it work is a HUGE step.  Congrats to you and your family!  I hope you'll be able to work it out and remain a family for your DD.

    God is good!

  • That's such great news! Sometimes it takes stepping back and re-evaluating to make you realize what you actually knew all along. Big Smile

  • Big hugs!! I'm so happy for you both.  I was talking to my DH about you this morning.  We both prayed for you, your DH and your DD.  Sometimes when you're in a relationship for so long it becomes stale and monotonous, so someone new looks appealing.  Sometimes stepping away and realizing what you may lose brings you back to what truly matters! Continued prayers to you and your family!

  • that's so great...i'm happy for you!  i think what you said is exactly right.  and as long as you have that deep, lasting love, the other stuff--the part that ebbs and flows--can be recharged.

    This exactly!  I am glad you have felt the strength and power of the EFFer's praying for you.  I hope this is a new beginning for you and your DH.
