just had make up sex so might be a bit ditzy with the post

as you can probably tell, our talk went really well. A lot he "wasn't aware of" or "didn't realise" and of course some was just me being hormonal and for over-thinking/stewing on things. A bit of communication goes a long way and we always say afterwards "we should have just talked days ago" but ... well you know how it is. Plus men are so dumb and unaware!

anyway. bottom line is we are much better and i should actually be able to sleep tonight! plus he let me order in pizza and pasta (my fave) as peace offering. MIL is probably going to come in August under the supervision of DH and the understanding that when and if i need time out, i'll get it. he'll also lay down the law in helping out and has promised to be more supportive generally.

One of the ladies from my playgroup told me today it took her husband years to cut that umbilical chord and support her and her needs over his mums. It really made me wonder what sort of man i'll raise. I'd hate to think i'd do this to someone else, but then my MIL isn't really aware of how upset i was or why and would probably be horrified.

anyway, it's funny how you seem to go from 'end of the world/down in the dumps bad' to taking a major leap in your relationship.

And yep, possums, that writing helped me gather my thoughts
