Well....last night was a good night!<BR>WH came over after he got off of work and brought clothes with him to spend the night.<BR>The girls were over at his parents house and my mom was still here so I fixed some supper and we all sat around just talking.<P>All of the sudden my mom just couldn't hold in her questions any longer and she started asking him what his intentions were. She is leaving to go back to Florida tomorrow and she is worried that she will leave and we will have to go through all of this again.<P>He said....me and Heather need to get to know each other again since we have both changed. I've noticed Heather's changes and I like them but there may be some changes I've made myself that she may not like.<BR>I said that I have noticed the changes that he has made and that I like some of them....but some of them would have to be worked on if he wanted to work on our marriage.<BR>I mentioned that if he wanted to go out with his friends that he couldn't just say he was going out and go. He said that he would have to work on that and was willing to.<BR>He is willing to make even more changes to make our marriage work. While he says there are no guarentess....he sees us working things out and being happier than ever.<P>I think he finally realizes how much he has hurt everyone and he's willing to do anything now to make sure that it doesn't happen again. He realizes that he has alot of work ahead of him and he says he's up for it.<P>I told him that as long as he shows me how much he really does love me....gives me reassurence without me asking for it...and tries to earn that trust back that I won't have a reason to start questioning him like I used to. I promised to do the same....to never take what I have for granted and to make sure every day that I show him how much I love him.<P>I really think he is serious this time.....but who knows?<P>He's said all this before.....but this time seems different....he really seems to mean it this time....but then again...at the time...he seemed to mean it the last couple of times too.<BR>
