stubborn much?
June 29, 2009
Great news – the hubz will be moving back to Washington state. He was officially offered the job last Thursday. For that I am SO happy and thankful for.
Recap: We’ve been living apart for the last year – with occasional visits to either Florida or Washington. Those visits were amazing, emotional and we were unsure of the future. Was I moving back to Florida or was he moving to Washington? We just did not know. .
Current: We just spent the last two weeks together – trying to adapt again. Even though we’ve been married FOREVER, it was quite the eye opener. Very obvious that we have been independent for the last 12 months. Quite frankly, while I enjoyed our time together part of me was extremely sad that the separation has changed “US”. Us as a married couple and as parents.
In all honesty – a small part of me is concerned of the readjustment of living back as a family. I felt like part of me was ripped away in the sense that I became both Mom and DAD – the decision maker, etc. The biggest challenge I see? We are both SO stubborn. I mean STUBBORN.
It was difficult to put him on the plane for Florida this morning but my heart hurts more because I feel that we have changed SO much.
That? Worries me…

You guys will make it work. It will take time, it will mean compromise, and a lot of listening. You’ll be okay – I truly believe that.

I’m with Karen…you worked well before, you will again. It’ll take adjustments from both, but you’ll get there!

It will all fall back into place…like Sugarpanties said, it just takes time.

Part of being in a marriage is accepting each other as you change and grow…
So, if you want to stick around then this is a good thing!
Instead of trepidation, try going in with enthusiasm… just a suggestion. See what happens.
