Big Girls Don't Cry

[hopefloats7]

I read through everyone's advice today and just wanted to say thank you again.

I received another call from H. over the weekend. He said he was on his way home from work. Again, just touching base with me, wanting to chat. It was slightly revealing when I mentioned I was heading out to buy groceries; he said he hadn't done that in many weeks. I said, "Really?" He replied that he doesn't get out much these days, other than work.

He sounded tired but not that depressed. Again, asked a lot about my family, how we are all doing. He asked what I'd done that day, what my evening plans were. He is very inquisitive.

Again, he does not mention us or our current precarious marital status. I don't ask.

Maybe he is in-between girlfriends and is lonely. I am certain if he were seeing someone right now, he'd be calling that person to chat instead of me. Like everyone said, it's just about being patient and doing nothing; letting it ride out to see what this is all about.

I keep praying he's coming out of this slowly and is seeing through the fog, ever so slightly.
