Yep... "I love you, too."<p>There was no guessing at the words. No wondering if I imagined it.<p>We were in church to see the Power Team... I was looking at him and the boys... such a wonderful sight to see a dad w/ his boys on Father's Day... and to see how much they love each other... and he said "What?"<p>I said, "I just love you." He said, "I know you do. I love you too." A squeeze of the hands our arms touching as the head of YS rests on them both... and I have to wipe away some tears!<p>Hugs to all... have a great day...
I have to work today... staff development... so I won't have computer access until later tonight.<p>Cali

Wow, I'm really jealous.<p>I have stopped saying "I love you" as he leaves the house, or whenever, because he doesn't answer back and that just hurts too much.<p>I have a card from last valentine's day, that just shows that he really did love me. I look at that when the fog is too much.

I know it hurts to say I Love You when the person you say it to doesn't respond, but say it anyways. Make sure everyday he knows how much you love him! Back before I got married, my now H telling me everday I love you helped me realize who the really important person was in my life. If you can't say it, stick little notes in places he will find them that say I love you, at least you are still getting your point across.<p>Cali - I'm happy for you. It does feel wonderful to hear those words, especially if you haven't heard them in a long time. I got to hear them again for the first time in a long time last Wednesday, and they were the most beautiful words ever spoken to me, felt more wonderful than the first time he told me them!

Cali:<p>I'm with you. I NEED to hear that from time to time from my W. She's still "uncomfortable" saying it, and so the last time was a while ago now. I tried to get one out of her this evening, and failed. She simply squeezed my hand in response to my ILY this evening. I had come home from work to be with her when I needed to stay late to get a map finished. So, now I'm supposed to work on the map now that she's asleep. (and here I am posting!). She'll be out of town the rest of the week. At least she said she was glad I came home. I guess I should be glad for that much. But instead I'm down again because no ILY [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I'm happy for you, though! They are truly three wonderful words in combination!

Hello Cali,<p>You don't know me.. I'm from P/C boards. Your thread caught my eye.<p>I could totally relate.<p>The first glimmer of our breakthrough happened at church too.<p>H and I began to attend church together shortly after d-day. Even in the midst of our most turbulent times we would sit in church with our children between us. No-one would even know we had a fight the night before and weren't even speaking. <p>After months of just being in the same pew together we began sitting next to each other. And then one wonderful day he grabbed my hand during the sermon.<p>I remember feeling a huge wave of love and relief. It was like seeing a light at the end of a very very long tunnel.<p>Congratulations on your breakthrough. A recovered marriage is far better than one that just idles along.<p>Good luck,
Z.

Thank you all...<p>I continue to be amazed and awed by God's grace and favor, though I guess I really shouldn't be.<p>My H is teaching summer school at his old worksite and while I was at a different worksite, I was not anxious or uneasy... it's like I am actually living again... not waiting for the other shoe to drop...<p>You are all wonderful people and this site has been a Godsend to me... <p>Hugs to all,
Cali
