Better than ever

This weekend H and I had the best time together that we have had in years. My younger 2 children were out for the day with my parents and after I had taken my eldest son shopping for clothes for his school trip (the the states!) he went to a friends house to hang out. H and I had the whole afternoon to ourselves. We spent the first hour or so in bed and then walked along the river bank with our dog and stopped off in a pub for a drink. Both really mellow and content. At one point I stopped walking, kissed him and said 'thanks for coming back to me'. He looked in my eyes and said' I never really left. I can't ever leave you'.

 

I have such a feeling of calm groundedness. Such a relief after the ups and downs of the last few months. Maybe I can be sure that we have a future together.

 

Sorry for the soppy sentiments this early in the week but you've listened to me whinge and offered advice. I'd like to share the good stuff too

There are moments so special that it does take your breath away.

 

Enjoy them and let them carry you through the less pleasant parts of the reconciliation roller coaster.

Oh I am. It is so easy to focus on the pain, and disregard the joy. I will be keeping that day clear and bright in my head.

Waterwoman, what a lovely post, so nice to read good things. I am 5 years on from D Day and can say with honesty that our relationship and marriage has gone from strength to strength, there is nowhere I would rather be. Keep on with the date days, they sure are fun and remind each other how strong your relationship is - you have weathered a huge storm, enjoy the calm.

Thanks all. Am feeling really happy and positive at the moment.
