So I sent H an email that went something like this

i would like to be able to do things with the children together this summer, i would like it if we could live seperately, you in your house and me in mine, and we could do things as a family and do things together with no expectations and no commitments, to just have fun together and see where it leads us, you coudl still have your life and do what you want and i mine, i would just maybe like the chance to get to know each other again and what ever happens happens, is that something you would consider? remember no expectations and no commitment

His response was I dont see a problem with that. Then I asked him if he read the whole thing. He asked what I meant. I said

I mean the part where i said to do things together, i kinda meant without the kids and the get to know each other again part

He said

i dont want to start making any plans in that regard, we'll see what happens as time goes on, i just meant i wasnt ruling anything out,

I was very surprised by this, he isnt ruling anything out which means that there is a possible chance for us to have a future. Im not getting my hopes up but at least I know where he is coming from. I feel like we have made a great breakthrough
