Well.....I posted a couple of days ago that my WH wanted to talk....and that he had invited me to go the races with him and the girls since it was his weekend to have them.<BR>(i told him that i didn't want to go the races with him because i found out that he had me at his house one night and the OW the next...he told me)<P>The OW has been LB'ing all over the place. <P>He called Friday to make sure I was picking up our OD from VB practice and to tell me that he would be in here as soon as he was ready. He said....I know we won't have time to talk when I get there because of the kids so can we talk a little bit now since they are busy....I know you want to talk in person...but you know how it is. I said I know...and yes. <BR>I told him that I wouldn't be a second choice anymore, that I still loved him but was very scared that I would be hurt again, that he couldn't come back into our lives as my husband and want to do this down the road again. He needs to be sure that WE are what he wants. If WE aren't what he wants....and wants forever....then he needs to just keep moving on with his life. I then asked him a question....I said....I'm not asking you if you love me.....I'm asking you if you want to love me? His answer.......YES.<P>He said he knew all this and that he would never intentionally hurt any of us. Somehow the conversation got turned around and we talked about him picking me up to go to the races and he mentioned that he would like for me to go out to his house with him and the girls Friday night and just spend the whole weekend with him and the girls. I already had plans to go out to dinner with my mom....and she convinced me to go out with her and then she would take me out there to WH's house afterwards. She said this was a good opportunity for us. So....I went.<P>To make a long story short.....from the get go....my WH was very loving...attentive....and talkitive the whole weekend.<BR>We took the girls to the races...saw some people from his place of work and he actually introduced me to them as his wife....showered me with affection in front of them....did things for me that he usually wouldn't think of doing for me.<P>BTW....the OW called 3 times while I was there this weekend and LB'd everytime. First was Saturday..she called to see if my WH was bringing the girls to her sons B-Day party...he told her no for the 3rd time...she complained that her feelings would be hurt...he said no again and she hung up on him. Second was while we were at the races....a voicemail telling him to bring all of her stuff to her. Third was this morning....while we were still in bed....the same bed....she tried to be sweet....he wasn't nice to her at all.....said he would bring her stuff into her.....and she had the nerve to say.....you know you never really showed me how much you wanted to be with me anyway. GOSH....the nerve of this woman.<P>Anyway we had a family gathering today...my side of the family...and we went together. After we left the gathering and stopped by his place to get the OW's stuff we decided to stop by his parents house and on the way there....and all weekend he would put his hand on my arm while he was driving. He did this again and I looked at him a smile....and before I knew I said it....I said....I love you.......and guess what. HE SAID.......I LOVE YOU TOO.<BR>Shocked the you know what right outta me!!!!!<P>We had to get home because it was getting late....we got the girls in and their stuff and I walked him out to his truck....and he did it again....but he said I love you first this time....I said it back of course. <BR>He said it 2 more times....first....before he left.<BR>I told him that I felt uncomfortable with him going to her house and getting his stuff and he said he was sorry....but we both knew that she would never give him his stuff....he would have to go get it. He said he would call me as soon as he got home.<P>He called and left me a voicemail about 40 minutes later...which meant that he was only at her place for about 10 minutes.....long enough to give her her stuff and get his....and the message he left me was so sweet...and he said I love you again!!<P>So folks.....I'm not sure where this puts me......but I'm liking every minute of it. <P><BR>
