He's in hospital, having had a pulmonary embolism, so is very poorly. Its our anniversary today and he made the effort to track down a number for a florists, phone them up himself, tried to sort out having them delivered to his ward so he could give them to me personally when I visited (but fell foul of the 'no flowers on the ward' rule) so had them delivered to our home instead.

Just to say to Bup - I can laugh about most things, but your refuge comment, given what I said in my second post ('my first husband went to prison for what he did to myself and my daughter') wasnt even vaguely funny.

Wahey, they're sending him home earlier than planned as his blood clotting tests are fine

Aw - great news!

sausagesandmarmelade · 15/05/2011 17:30

Heart warming!

Congrats to you both...and hope he makes a speedy recovery!

thederkinsdame · 15/05/2011 17:31

What a lovely man! Hope he gets better soon!

Glad to hear he's feeling better. (Do you think he got half price on the flowers if the florist thought it was a dirty phone call? ).

Glad to hear you both appreciate each other. We have an anniversary at the end of the month. DH just booked super posh resto, and told me now rather than surprise me with this as he knows I'll use it as an excuse for a new top/shoes, getting hair done etc. What a poppet.

LDNmummy · 15/05/2011 19:21

That is amazing, congrats on your anniversary and hope he gets better soon

Sorry OP. Obviously I wouldn't have said that if I wasn't a massive bellend and had read your second post

Just wanted to update this to say that he's home and getting better by the day (poor thing ended up with pneumonia as well as the PE).

And he's gone and done it again - he's taking me and our poorly (she's got cancer) Labrador away for a few days - he's booked us a surprise long weekend for us next week.....no idea where we are off to

To all of you stuck in crappy - or worse - relationships like I used to be, as I said above, there is a better life waiting out there for you.

Your DH sounds lovely - bless him! Can I send mine round for lessons?

I wasted years on shedloads of useless tossers before finding a decent bloke if its any consolation
