You could make it all look easy today, but inside you are probably stressing more than usual. These are difficult times, for you are being pulled in opposite directions and neither option is perfect. Ultimately, you’ll need to stop the analysis and just make a choice. Remember, it’s usually best to choose love over fear.

Last week Matt asked me again what needs to happen so he can come back home. I had mentioned counseling for us in previous conversations. I just wasn’t sure if that was the answer to our problems but the more I have thought about it the more it seems there isn’t much else we can try. Matt called this morning and set up our first appointment for next Monday. He made a commitment to see this through with me and with that promise, I told him he can come back home at the end of the month. Well the end of the month is logical because he will have to give notice to the landlord and all that but I’m sure he will start moving back before then. He tells me over and over that he is very unhappy with the current arrangement and just wants to come home to me. So I’m choosing love over fear…. again. I know that our family and true friends will be supportive of our decision to try to save our relationship because they know how much we love each other.

I just hope this is the right step because I don’t have any other ideas about how to rebuild this relationship. John told me today that the reason I’m not sure what to do yet is because the right thing hasn’t presented itself. I’ve been thinking about that a lot because it really made me stop and think. Sometimes you don’t know the solution to a problem until it’s staring you in the face and then it’s like a light switches on. I definitely felt good after talking to Matt on the phone about him coming home. That’s an honest feeling that I can trust if nothing else.
