[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 437292, member: 65"] My Dad is a great guy. One of the best out there. And being a great guy, he's willing to give Ant a second chance. Ant has been working since April 4th. He's doing great in his job, so he deserves a chance. My Dad believes if you are trying to do the right thing, you should be supported. At the same time, he's no push-over! My Mom reminded me that one of the traits I love about husband is his going out of his way to make those he loves happy. And that it is usually the traits you love that will make you the most angry. And she's right. I love it when husband goes above and beyond to make ME happy. Mom also was the one that explained to me "love banks".... just like a bank where you make deposits and withdrawals, you do the same thing with those you love. A nice comment to your loved one - a deposit. Leaving your dirty dishes under the couch - a big withdrawal. husband has made so many deposits that he had enough in the bank to cover this major withdrawal. husband is a good guy. He's got a kind heart. And this is only the 2nd major mess-up in 15 years so he's doing good. And I was able to tell him how I felt so that he understood. And now, it's time to go forward. He made this decision and we will work things out together. We've worked out a plan of action IF Ant doesn't follow through. Plan A: Repo the car and sell it. But, what if Ant hides the car so we can't repo it.... Plan B: husband sells his rifle collection. If he needs more money, he sells his baby (his motorcycle). We will not let my Dad get stuck with Ant's debt. And husband will take the brunt of hurt if we have to come up with money for Ant's debt. Okay, since I spilled the beans on how bad husband can be, I feel it's only fair to show you how good he can be too. In the early days when we had a house full of pre-adolescent, hyper children and I was reaching the point of having my own major meltdown..... husband would come and get me out of the kitchen and take me to our bathroom. There, I would find a bathtub full with a hot bubble bath, music playing softly in the background, the book I was reading waiting for me and a glass of wine sitting next to it. I was told to stay there until I was all pruny and relaxed. When I finally got out of the tub, my kitchen was spotless and my kids were in bed and asleep. This happened about once a month. This is the kind of guy he is. He goes out of his way to see to my comforts and my happiness. It's easy for me to forgive him. (my girlfriends don't get me, but it's who I am) [/QUOTE]
