Great news! That's a huge step and I hope you made sure he doesn't regret it later! ;) I think that open communication is the key. I hope you get your vacation as planned. I truly feel optimistic!

Hugs, Didi

So glad for you. May I suggest that a nice romantic candlelight dinner at home might be a good reward for something he gave up..

That might show him that you're hurt, but willing to forgive him for his stupidity. You know those 'pals' might give him a hard time about this, but if he's happy at home, it might not matter as much to him as it did before.
