One Mom Down - One to Go
Well my mom was heading to have dinner when we called, so we ended up telling John's mom first. (Sorry dads, it's just easier to talk to moms!) So she was really glad to hear that we weren't thinking it was over. And she got to listen to me sob a lot because I couldn't even speak when she asked what was up. lol She really is awesome.
She thinks that we don't need to rush into a rash decision about postponing - but that they will support whatever we ultimately decide to do. She really believes we have something worth working for and that relationships are new for both of us. Asked if John not being responsive or communicative about his plans was common and we said yes, but it had never been that long before and obviously had never had the same outcome. I'm sure no mom would like to believe their son would cheat on his significant other, but I don't think he did either. I think he's pretty obtuse when it comes to someone liking him, so he probably didn't REALLY know she would try to go there. But he still knew he was doing wrong by not telling me. I really do feel he regrets his decision and he is eager to figure out how to make it right. And we're working on it.
Did I mention that on top of this, I'm still getting over my cold and he went to urgent care this morning to be diagnosed with STREP. lol Wow, talk about an action packed week.
For now, we await the conversation with my parents. And then we'll figure out the final decision at this time.
So I might not have to tell everyone at work that the wedding is postponed, which would be fabulous because I was definitely dreading that. But I will, if we need to. It certainly felt good to hear his mom's vote of confidence in us.
She has offered to come over and help with whatever we need - and wondered if she should come over and feed us chicken soup and vitamins. She really is probably the best MIL a girl could ask for. That was another thing that made me so sad. I can't imagine another set of inlaws. I just can't.
Love you all! <3

Wow...miss a day, miss a lot. I usually sneak onto Xanga via Blackberry to entertain myself while eating lunch, but I didn't get to today.
Tia, I am so very sorry that you're experiencing this pain and uncertainty right now. I wish I had advice, wisdom, or any sort of comfort to offer..but it all seems somewhat inadequate over the internet. Please know that you're in my thoughts.
