I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. This man of mine.
I think he'd prefer Prince Charming but I like to think of him more as my knight in shining armour. Not that he isn't charming :)
Even after crushing disappointment, hurt feelings and maybe a wee bit defensiveness.......... He has already rallied round to an acceptable extent. To once again support and understand me even if he doesn't agree with my decision. He can STILL see my reasons........ and even though he thinks I'm not making the best decision ........ he accepts it and understands that it's something I feel I've got to do, that I've got to do what feels right and best for me and my children right now. And because it is best for me right now....... It actually becomes inadvertently best for all of us.
Ok I'm aware it's not easy for him to accept, but the difference is, he's trying really hard. And that alone is good enough for me. Because he is coming to terms with my decision, its calming me. I feel a sense of relief.
And even though we are still going to be working our way through and past my decision, I feel at least that because of the conversations we have been having over the last couple of days.......... that we'll be working through it 'together'.
And that, means everything to me. It means everything because I need him. I need his support and understanding. I think I'll be able to get through the turmoil ahead if I know that he is standing beside me. He may not agree, but that he is willing to put that aside, for me........ it just makes me love him even more.
So things have been a little shaky lately........ if we ever needed ttwd, this would be one of those times I think.
I've had quite the calm and less panicked day today :)
Must be something to do with that spanking I had last night :D
Yep, those spankings work wonders don't they. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better. I must say I'm not surprised that Mitch is supporting your decision, love will do that to a person :)
ReplyDeleteYes they do! What a phenomena lol! Thanks faerie
DeleteI'm also not surprised that Mitch is supporting you and your decision, even if he disagrees. Glad to hear that you're feeling better...pretty sure you're right about a spanking helping. I'm still not really sure why it does, but it does seem to work that way. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace, I feel calmer for those two reasons.
DeleteHappy things are working out. Love really does conquer all.
ReplyDeleteOf course, spankings help too.
Spankings conquer all and love helps too? Lol! Thanks sunnygirl.
DeleteAmazing what that little 'reset' can do, isn't it? I hope all goes well. :)
ReplyDeleteThinking the little reset might need to happen more than once tbh but I'm happy with the kickstart. Thanks rogue.
DeleteDee,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that you and Mich are doing better.
Love,
Kitty
P.S. Have a great weekend!
Thanks Kitty, you have a great weekend too.
DeleteKeep the faith girl! We're all with you to provide friendship, support and an "ear" to listen when you need it!
ReplyDeleteFriendship, support and those 'ears' are all very much appreciated. Thanks Christina.
DeleteDee, I'm so glad that he heard you and has found a way to be supportive. It's even more evidence that you have an unselfish man who loves you dearly. I think you might need some more spankings though...just sayin.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie!! On both points!! Ha! :)
DeleteSounds like you had a reset! What a good thing it can be to be working together :)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I replied before I was done and the page reloaded without having to put in those words...
ReplyDelete- Anyways, I just wanted to say that both of you working together, even after your decision shows what a wonderful guy he is and how strong you are together. I have been trying to catch up on posts, so I read both of your latest and commented here.
I cant imagine how hard it was for you to come to your decision, but things seem to be looking good so far.
If he can accept it and understand it's what you need to do now, I can only imagine that will help grow a wonderful future down the road some day.
Thanks Emi, it certainly proves to me how much he thinks of me. I'm happy others see that too :)
