So friday night when I got home, he was already there (unusual) and pretty much from when I walked in the door he asked me how my therapy sessions were going and he initiated a conversation. It looks like we were on the same page for once in a long time!! As you know from my posts above - I was feeling like we needed to have some kind of talk. We ended up talking for about 1.5-2 hours and I would say it was good conversation in the sense that we were both open to what the other person was saying, but not good in the sense that we are still at an impass and there is still no real clear direction. Which I am OK with for now - again, not sure how long I can keep going like this - but for now I will continue to exert patience and trying to better myself.
Then surpisingly over the weekend, he seemed to be in much better spirits and a little nicer towards me. I actually got him to laugh and smile a couple times which was so nice for me to see - it feels like it has been forever since I have seen that smile.
I don't want to read anything into this as our situation still does not seem any different - but I feel like I have been refreshed with energy to continue on this long journey.
