Maybe your husband crying is a sign that he is thinking a bit more about the situation? I don't want to get your hopes up but all might not be lost for the future.

Hope it works out for you:)

That's what I was thinking. I really hope he realises just how much he does love you both. I think both of you beging apart will help sort out emotions.

I wish you every happiness. As someone else has said ...you are one very brave lady :thumbup:

Just want to wish you well Jude. You are a very brave lady and i hope things turn out fantastic for you back in the UK. That you deserve.;)

I wonder given time, your hubby will regret not returning with you!!

Re: Ive booked!!
 
omg i dont know what to put? congratulations and well done on biting the bullet and booking and sorry it all had to come to this, i mirror what others have written, who knows what the future holds, he may not have thought you were actually gonna do it!

goodluck for the future:)

Its all come along very quickly Jude.

I'm glad that you're feeling happy about your return anyway and I really hope that something can be resolved between you and your husband, maybe he will follow you at some stage.

All the best with your life back in the UK anyway. I can't believe you've beat me home! We fly on Tuesday. :)

Keep us posted
Thinking of you

Good luck with everything Jude. It can't be easy for you to do this - it's hard enough returning when you come back as a couple but to do it alone just shows how brave and strong you are. That strenghth will get you through the next few difficult months. I can't tell you just how much admiration I have for you.

You deserve all the happiness in the world and I hope you find it sooner rather than later :thumbsup:

Hi Jude - this thing called life can be a right stinker can't it!! But in my experience when things are bad, good times are always on the horizon - good luck and best wishes for your return to the UK, who knows what the future holds for you but I'm sure good times are just around the corner......

Good luck Jude and a safe journey home. Like all the others have said you are a very brave young woman. I hope you find happiness as you and your daughter deserve it.

Take care

So glad you have made the right decision for you and Meggy and stuck to it ! It will be a bittersweet few days, but you will soon be home. Once the jetlag has gone you can enjoy planning your new future. It is great to be here. Good luck darling. x

Re: Ive booked!!
 
Thanks to everyone for all your good wishes!:D

Your support on here has been tremondous & i honestly dont know what id have done without you all :thumbsup::D

I will certainly be staying around as ive made a couple of nice 'friends' now

As for people saying im brave! I dont see it like that at all. I just think it was something i neeeded to do & did it. Its weird as well as im not worried anymore about going as i now know ive made absolutely the right decision

thanks again xx
