going back friday

well i am going back to denver on friday and i think we have made some progress here. my bf has really made strides with his communication, his honesty, his therpay sessions and keeping consistant boundaries with his ex. it's funny, ever since he sent her the email establishing boundaries, he has forwarded me all of the emails including the nasty ones calling him an a**hole and she hated him. we have opened up to eachother more than we ever have. the funny thing is shortly after he set the boundaries and after she sent the nasty emails, her bf showed back up in the picture. she brought him to sd's soccer game last weekend and they went up to my bf and she asked if he will switch a weekend with the kids because hre and bf had something special planned. my bf replied 'i don't think it's a problem but let me check with my fiance to make sure we have nothing going on that weekend either'. that made me feel great!

so i can't say it's all going to be rosey when i return but at least a tremendous amount of progress has been made and i can't walk away from a man who as turned his words into action. we're also prepping for his vasectomy reversal the week i get back so we'll see.

during all of this i took off my engagement ring before i left and told him that we could never even think about getting married with all of the crap that has surfaced and that things needed to seriously change before taking another step. last night he asked me to marry him again and to put my ring back on. i told him we will discuss that when i get back. progress on the phone is one thing but seeing it in person for my own eyes is another.

wish me luck!

Keep us posted. I hope he keeps up the progress once you are there. Hey, even now with changes in schedules with BM, my DH doesn't say "I have to check with Stepmom_C" he simply says "I'll let you know..." (Which is better than early on when he simply chose without consulting me at all! LOL).

It does sound like he is trying Smile

it totally feels like he's trying. it almost seems too good to be true! yes i can completely relate to his not consulting me at all. it was like that for the first year...arrghhh..but with a little help from our new friend mr. therapist, he was advised that was a 'no no'. sounds like there has been great progress in your situation as well. i feel like i am going through almost exactly what you went through. it's amazing.

i know i will have more rough roads ahead...this is still only the beginning..i'll definitely keep you posted.
