Are you proud of me?

[Jessica167353]

Today I had an argument with my husband. The whole time I was having it and the rest of the day I had this imaginary band of Mumsnetters cheering me on and encouraging me to speak my mind. Normally I'd shy away from tough stuff and think it but not say it. But having read countless relationship threads and seeing all the responses I knew what I needed to say and how to say it and refused to back down.

It was the best outcome to an argument. DH did listen to my points and we resolved it in the best possible way. For once I didn't feel it was brushed under the carpet for a quiet life.

I could imagine you all feeling so proud of me. I'm quite proud of myself.

I for one, am very proud of you. I can’t speak for everyone but congratulations, it is nice to read a positive post which isn’t just someone (rightly) celebrating leaving an abusive relationship. 😁

That's brilliant OP!
And great there was a good outcome.

Well done, Jessica !

That's great to hear! Thank you for sharing, and well done 😊 Here's to more communication, less frustration.

Very proud, you’ve done great!

I'm proud of you, well done for sticking up for yourself!

Super!!! 👌

Well done. sounds like a breakthrough in communication between you both!

And what’s your secret formula for getting a man to listen?!

I remained quite unemotional and re-iterated my same point until he finally got it.

I was only able to keep on going because of the imaginary support.

well done!
keep up the good work

That's lovely!

So proud of you

Well done!

Unfortunately probably nil points as you didn't LTB, but otherwise well done.
