You were right to bring it up.. Tulle, I'll certainly check it out, thank you!</p> <p>I cringe when I read the beginning of this thread, because of how it ended.</p> <p>Here is the update of what happened...</p> <p>The guy turned out to be a religious extremist - adhering to a subcategory of Catholics that is very very strict and backwards&nbsp;- but mostly, his political views were at the antipodes of mine. He did not reveal this to me at first, of course, hiding it even.&nbsp;I discovered it during a subsequent trip to his city. He spent the last night we had&nbsp;together trying to convince me, waking me up in the middle of the night to show me his new "evidence" that I was wrong and sinful in my own not-so-extreme&nbsp;beliefs. &nbsp;I got really scared.&nbsp;I decided to cut all ties upon returning home&nbsp;and he harassed me for many months after that. Finally I wrote him a "nice" letter where I told him how happy I had been to reconnect with him and how courageous he had been through life's endeavors, bla bla bla, BUT that our views were irreconcilable, and so I asked him to not attempt to come in contact with me, and that I knew that the courageous, righteous guy he was would honor my request. And it worked! He just sent a small message - "Thank you" - and then never, ever contacted me again and I hope it stays that way.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I, on my part, was now in a situation where I was separating from my ex-husband. We decided I'd keep living in the house for another two years until my work situation would be more reliable (I am a teacher on a seniority list). Yes, you can bet he made fun of me for my mistake whenever he could, but never when I was at my weakest. He's a good man.&nbsp;Finally after one year I moved out, even if my work situation is not the best yet.</p> <p>This episode shook me inside. I thought this whole business of love was dangerous, that I couldn't trust myself, that I was no better after 20+ yrs than when I was a teen,&nbsp;etc. It was a rough year, I'll say this, during which&nbsp;I reevaluated myself deeply. I even went through a total style change, decided to let my hair grow, tried new things.&nbsp;But got through&nbsp;it and recently have started dating a wonderful man, another teacher actually, also divorced and with children the age of mine, who has been raised with the same beliefs without being over the top, who is serious and calm and collected and romantic. So all ends well.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-1398475 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:07:49 +0000 tulle 1398475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!

Sorry to be so serious at such an exciting and fun moment, but I love this idea of revisiting the past in a good way, to reclaim something -- and often as a means to make yourself whole, to move forward. Maybe this is the beginning of something real and longterm, maybe it will just be a fabulous weekend, who knows? But there are happy and wonderful reasons to go back, and this sounds like one of them. </p> <p>Wishing you an amazing and memorable time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-1398156 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:56:20 +0000 Deb 1398156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this story.......and would love to know the ending...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-955343 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 01:41:45 +0000 Beth 955343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic story...a new door opening and all of the anticipation that goes with it. So exciting!<div><br />BJ, I was&nbsp;dying reading that link. That's pretty much been my seduction theory too. My most effective "outfit" was simply a string of pearls. Breakfast-in-bed wear? His rumpled button-down shirt, of course. :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-954178 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:02:01 +0000 T-Rex 954178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love vintage clothing, so I have to throw out a favorite to you, just in case you might like it. If you decide to go a bit glam, but still comfortable, there is nothing like a vintage Olga gown. Unless you go for the very rare items, they are reasonably priced compared to new sleepwear. And they are very flattering.</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/search/vintage?q=olga+gown&amp;ref=market&amp;vintage_rewrite=vintage+olga+gown&amp;original_query=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/search/vin.....al_query=2</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-953304 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:34:11 +0000 T-Rex 953304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've found cute sleepwear at TJMaxx. There is one particular brand that I always find there, but I can't remember it at the moment. Whatever it is, there is usually a good mix of separates in the same pattern. Robe, long chemise, short chemise, long pajamas, shortie pajamas, etc. </p> <p>As for brands, I also like Natori, and Mary Green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-952833 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:16:37 +0000 Mia 952833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your story and have a couple of friends who had something similar happen in their lives so good luck and have fun. &nbsp;</p> <p>As far as sleepwear goes, the brands I like are Natori, Donna Karan and Oscar De La Renta for elegant but comfortable styles. &nbsp;Bodas has the most beautiful cotton &nbsp;in non frumpy cuts but they are not available many places. &nbsp;Net a Porter has them.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-952818 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:43:45 +0000 Anonymous 952818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've not read all the replies, but I'd go for a wonderful silky robe or cotton spa robe even&nbsp;with simple lines and nothing else but a bit of perfume. &nbsp;Simple and elegant and sure to please. &nbsp;Make sure your skin is exfoliated and soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear/page/2#post-952787 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:41:33 +0000 rachylou 952787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, bj. Kicking it into high gear by walking across the room. ROFL. That is, in fact, my entire theory of seduction right there. Can we have a cheer also for Garnet Hill? (Have to tell you I'm bummed that nightie is no longer for sale at Garnet Hill, haha.)</p> <p>Krish, I don't know what to say about sexy sleepwear either. But definitely no bunnies and hello kitties is good advice...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952701 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:34:57 +0000 DonnaF 952701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing story.&nbsp; All the best -- no matter what you wear/end up wearing.&nbsp; Or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952577 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:37:38 +0000 citygirldc 952577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.This is the most romantic thing I've heard. I love that everyone in your family supports you (inc. ex-dh). You must have great karma. Enjoy your trip and don't stress yourself out on sleepwear but find something that's "feel" like you. You'll know when you see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952537 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:05:20 +0000 Anonymous 952537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so exciting and romantic! &nbsp;Did you wear a perfume back then he would remember? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952511 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:50:54 +0000 harmonica 952511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting &amp; wonderful! My fingers are crossed for you! - No advise on sleepwear, though, but teh second one from Carole Hochman looks great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952499 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 11:29:56 +0000 krishnidoux 952499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all your replies! This is &nbsp;fantastic, I got some precious advice here.&nbsp;<br />This is going to help me a ton while shopping. I try to remember what I used to wear with him (some 25 yrs ago lol)...&nbsp;&nbsp;actually we were "punk" in our styles, and so I sometimes wore my dad's long johns <i>under </i>a kilt-like skirt... not happening today...&nbsp;&nbsp;I was very influenced by Cindy Loper IYKWIM.</p> <p>I'll go in reverse:</p> <p>Agnes, that is a very, very beneficial piece of advice, nothing cutsie, I will keep it in mind in my shopping. Thank you for bringing it up. True that "men" in general are turned off if it's too girlie . Maybe not all men, but better not take chances lol.</p> <p>Dianthus, Irene, Sarah,&nbsp;Kristin, Sveta, Raisin,&nbsp;Thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ann, yes, you've got it! I'll focus on that, because that is when I'll need it... So funny you mention this bc when we chatted, he said he remembered when I had served him breakfast in bed in my parents' house (my parents not knowing)... I had forgotten about that! Guess I thought he was a keeper back then :)</p> <p>Mo, your advice resonates with Agnes's, I think I will go with&nbsp;the boy shorts and tank idea. Minus the "sweet", maybe. And good point about the fabric. It can indeed make a big difference.</p> <p>Archer, thanks for the links, and I actually quite dig your idea of downloading our music from way back when...! As I said, we were "punk" (but not punks), but... he is also very musical and he would&nbsp;play the piano for me for hours, and I never had enough. Classical pieces, Sati etc. We would play at imagining a story, and then recounting it.&nbsp;So your idea is very welcome. Will do! Thanks for thinking about this, it will be such a nice touch!</p> <p>Parsley, lol</p> <p>Archer, Mary K, yes, wrap around lounging wear! Mary K, "high wasp" lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sara, good advice. Anything too bulky to sleep in is not good.</p> <p>Shevia: I am! I am desperately trying to calm down. So much happiness in my heart though.</p> <p>Tracey, you said it. I was "stuck" for a long time. I am happy to have done therapy. It has opened our eyes and allowed us (DxH and me) to separate without more hurt. And the result is his support now! I don't think this would have been possible without couple's&nbsp;therapy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952482 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:22:48 +0000 Agnes 952482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I really hope it goes well for you. You certainly sound like you have a strong bond already. The suggestions from the forum members are all great. My only advice is nothing cutsie. My husband tells me men just hate it. You don't have to be a sex bomb or anything, just no teddy bears or anything else chidlish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952477 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:12:17 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 952477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no suggestions but think it is great that you have reconnected with an old flame at such a turning point in your life.&nbsp; I hope the weekend is the start of beautiful and happy phase of your life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952463 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:55:16 +0000 Irene 952463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this sounds very exciting, and it's great to have a supportive son and ex-partner. </p> <p>I have no recommendations on sleepwear but I wish you the best of time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952384 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 03:14:19 +0000 Rambling Ann 952384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Breakfast in bed-wear. If you needed that, he's a keeper! I hope he makes your heart go pitted-patter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952376 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:52:43 +0000 Mo 952376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;Honestly, the most 'appreciated' sleepwear I've ever bought was merely&nbsp;$5 at WalMart - a tank and boyshort set that was embroidered with SWEET across the front and a heart on the cheek &nbsp;<br />Beyond that, I find modal fabric to move and drape nicely, along with being cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952374 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:44:16 +0000 Sarah A 952374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope your adventure is fabulous! I am sure whatever PJs you decide on will be perfect. The WASP discussion is cracking my up b/c to me reading it WASP = Womens Airforce Service Pilot and it didnt make any sense whatsoever. Had to google the other uses of the term! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952372 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:39:40 +0000 Archer 952372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.frankieandnicole.com/shop/category/cat5905/Womens_Nighties.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.frankieandnicole.co.....hties.html</a><br /> Sorry to learn how to link- in public, but you can tell I'm into your great story.

Who needs sleepwear?"</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952366 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:22:33 +0000 Archer 952366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much fun! The styles at Nordies are great because they are cute and not bombshell in a predictable way. Think you also need a wraparound style that you can actually lounge in. Agree with MaryK totally. Can I suggest black with cream trim or vice versa - think Chanel. I'm going searching for you now.<br /> DxH not consulted on this leg of journey though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-omg-omg-need-advice-cute-sleepwear#post-952361 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 02:04:54 +0000 Sara L. 952361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing story! I hope it all works out. &nbsp;No advice about sleepwear - I wear boyshort underwear&nbsp;and a tank top. If I didn't have kids, I would sleep in the nude. &nbsp;For some reason I find pretty much all pajamas super annoying when trying to sleep. </p>
