Update on "my short spew"
Wow, I'm so proud of DH that I want to shout it from the rooftops. For anyone that read my post yesterday, SD asked DH to take her kids to various sporting practices tomorrow evening. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, even the fact that they live a distance away and it would make more sense for her to ask someone in her neighborhood to help, but tomorrow is our anniversary. DH told her he would do it and then told me he screwed up. Guess he wanted forgiveness after the fact.
I didn't complain to him about his decision just told him "it is what it is" and that I would go out with one of my girlfriends instead. This morning he sent me an email asking me not to make plans with my girlfriends, that he was working on replacements for tomorrow. I still didn't say anything, though I wanted to say "it's not your job to do that." I just responded for him to let me know what he decides. He later sent me an email asking me to make reservations. He just called to ask if I was able to make reservations and what time. I told him what time the reservation was for and asked him if that would be enough time for him to drop the gskids off and get home. He said that any time would be fine because he wasn't dropping them off. I asked if he asked SS to take the kids and he said he thought about it but didn't. DH said that he told SD that he couldn't do it and then told me it was her responsibility. Not sure that he told her that but very grateful that I heard him say it.
I never in a million years thought he would change his tune, very happy he did because it is a special day for us.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Happy Anniversary and so glad it worked out
At least until the next time
At least until the next time DH puts SD first! JK
Thanks girls. I can't imagine
Thanks girls. I can't imagine how SD took it, especially after she told me nearly five years ago the she hoped DH wouldn't have to choose between us. I know I shouldn't get too excited but this is a major step for DH.
She told you that she didn't
She told you that she didn't want daddy to have to choose between the 2 of you? Well, if she really means that then she won't cause trouble to make him feel like he has to and she also won't put him in that situation. What a stupid, thoughtless thing to say. It's almost like she's saying "SM back away because I will create a situation to make him choose and if he doesn't choose me then there will be hell to pay and it will be your fault". What a brat. Sounds like something my lovely psycho brat of a SD would say. What an as$.
Exactly and everyone can see

Good for you! And have a
Good for you! And have a wonderful anniversary. I think the comment about going out with friends tipped the scales in your favor. Now you know he doesn't want to lose you - even at the expense of disappointing the princess. I guess he needed a little reminder that there was a possibility it could happen. LOL
