So, if any of you remember me, I posted on here in turmoil a couple of months ago, because my DP didn't work, was staying in bed until midday leaving me with three DC under 5, not being all that helpful and playing on his games yada yada.
It all came to a head when I packed his stuff and met with his mum and asked her to have him back. But when he got home, he actually showed some passion and said he wanted to stay and listed the ways in which he would change.
I didn't believe him.
Since then, he has:
Got his old job back
Treated me whenever he gets paid
Got an interview lined up for a much better job
Helped massively with the kids, everything from nappies to homework to medicine to taking older one out for a bike ride
Much more initiative
Not had lay ins (unless we agree on the weekend)
Barely played his games
A couple of times he's taken them into town (Long walk) To give me a break
Returned next to me on the sofa :)
He's been out once, but asked for permission, and arranged it for after the DC were in bed
I'm very poorly at the min but he's done everything
And more.
I'm not stupid. Things aren't perfect. Nothing is right? But even his attitude is different now. It's like he WANTS to do things rather than feels he has to.
So... Yeh :)
