Hi Dior. I'm really glad for you, and admire you enormously. It sounds a really positive outcome, and if it still doesn't work out in the future you'll both know you gave it all you'd got. Best of luck xx

Well Done Dior

I really hope dh comes through for you and you get everything out of your relationship that you want and deserve. xx

Well done sweetheart.

I really hope this is a long term committment from him and not something that will last a few weeks and go back to the old ways.

You are astrong minded, strong willed woman, and deserve a medal for all you have been through, so go easy no yourself. If its not coming naturally, please dont force it.

Take care of yourself, and you know where I am xxx

(((((((((()))))))))) well lets hope that this is the next stage of your life x i hope it brings you all the happiness you deserve.well done for sticking your ground and making him realise what he is losing

MascaraOHara · 04/11/2007 13:59

Well done Dior.. it might not be easy but you both need to remember to make an effort now you are committed to giving it another go.

I really hope you both end up with a strong happy relationship x

Well done, I really hope it works out for you Dior.

HappyWoman · 04/11/2007 15:17

Been thinking of you a lot - i am glad you are happy but remeber it does take 2 to wnat it work - it is early days so enjoy them and then do the work you both need to not slip back into old ways.

Well done

wow just popped on and seen this. I really hope things turn around for you. A happy outcome would be amazing. This has gone on for so long.

I'm really impressed to were able to listen to him and be prepared to give it another go, and not just stick blindly to your initial plan. I really think being able to try out compromises and listen to such a wildly different pov at such a crisis point takes a huge amount of courage. I hope it works out for you, I truly do.xx

TotalChaos · 04/11/2007 18:25

hope all continues well - keep a careful eye on him, so that you don't end up accepting things sliding back. remember you deserve to be loved and respected.

Wow Dior never very good at knowing what to say but just wanted to say how proud I am of you - it takes a lot to accept an apology and genuinely give it another go - I truly truly wish you the very very best of luck and love that this works out - you sound so much happier already

Good luck Dior, I really hope it works out for you and you are truly happy. x

Baffy · 05/11/2007 09:45

wow Dior - just caught up with all of this

fwiw I think you did an amazing thing in going through with your plans. finding the strength, love and courage to not only listen to him and think of his feelings, but also for you to then decide to give things one last try - well that takes a truly special person. I hope you realise that.

I really believe that you should always give relationships everything you can before walking away, and I think for you, realising that he really does love you was that final boost you needed to put everything you have into giving it one final try.

I hope he really starts to appreciate just what he was about to lose and you can both have a great time in re-discovering why you love each other in the first place. how wonderful for ds too

Are you still going for the counselling too? And have you got some babysitters lined up so you can get a few things planned for just the 2 of you?

great news and I wish you both all the luck in the world xx

lou33 · 05/11/2007 09:52

i'm just glad you are finally happy

Tanee58 · 05/11/2007 14:39

Wow Dior, what HAVE I missed whilst I was in Germany. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to wish you luck but I didn't have time to come on MN on Wednesday & flew out really early on Thursday morning. Got home today at 3am (long ghastly nightmare journey).

I think you are really brave, loving and generous. And I do so hope it works out for you. Maybe this was what was needed to shock H into realising just how wrong things had gone - and if you CAN pull things back from the brink, it will be so good for DS as well.

I do wish you ALL the best - and we MUST get together for that coffee soon!

Just keep that H on his toes! If not we'll all after him !
