Another update. Just got home from spending a couple of days together (with the boys). He invited me to dinner Thursday night at his house and actually ended up spending the night there. Thought I might get "banished" to the couch in the early morning (he has been afraid to show any change of emotion in front of my 2 1/2 year old son, so it's not too confusing), but he didn't seem to care in the morning. Not sure if I'm rading into it too much, but he definitely seems more relaxed overall. He went to work Friday and then we came back that night (another scheduled time w/the boys). We went to dinner as a family, and then I ended spending the night there again. We spent most of the day together this afternoon, but got the feeling he needed some space, so I went out for a few hours on my own. When I came back, he was acting all cute and flirty towards me. I think I should try to give him some more space, but it's just so hard when he's doing the inviting and I (of course) want to be there. What do you think? Don't know if I should call him tomorrow or whether I should see if he calls? Would love to plan something to do as a family, but that might be pushing it too much at this point. So anyway things seem to be going well so far, but I'm having a hard time being patient for him to come around. I actually broke all the rules and told him that I loved him the other night, he said that he loved me to, but then added how I make things so complicated. Ahhh...I knew I shouldn't have said it, but my emotions got the best of me. After that I tried to lighten up the mood a bit, and we started laughing and joking around instead. Anyhow, that's my update. Let me know if you have thoughts or advice. Thanks!!
