Thank you for your update. Your experiences and others, show that there is progress, even if it's at a snails pace. I followed your posts in the past. I really needed to see this today. It's so easy to think that if someone is not posting any more, they just gave up, and it makes me feel even more hopeless. Posts like yours, brings hope back. Patience must be a lesson that I'm having a hard time learning, because it seems my entire life, has been waiting patiently for one thing or the other, and it never gets easier.
I am at about the same place as you, except I believe H is still with OW. I don't now what their status is. I only see or speak with him a couple times a year. For the most part, I let him make contact, and have stopped asking where we are, since I got the same answer you did...I don't know, I don't want to have this covnersation. Sometimes I think that's just because he never liked conflict. But, when I read a post like yours, it does make it seem more like part of the process. That alone, is heartening.
It must be so nice having Puppy back. I still think about getting another dog. But, I keep holding off because the future is so uncertain. Having a dog is such a wonderful thing, it allows you to show love and be loved, unconditionally. Truly unconditionally! ..well till the next visitor with doggie cookies walks in. :-) Enjoy all that affection! And thank you so much for your post.
