tonight H brought S home from Karate- and came inside. He stayed for about an hour.
The kids asked if he'd seen my room and he asked if I finished. I replied almost. He asked if I really changed it- I replied Yup totally changed it. He came back with that he really didn't like it the other way. I held back- and didn't reply- although my brain screamed- like you even came over or have a say since you moved out. But I didn't. H said he liked it- had more room.
Stayed in the room and talked with the kids for a bit. Then had to leave. He said he'd leave out the garage and I could close the door behind him. I stood waiting to hit the button. (no kiss as he walked by) He asked if that was my trash I said, uh, yup It was D's ob I guess she forgot. He said he'd get it. I met him on the way back and thanked him. Then went in and shut the garage door, went into the house and didn't look back.
H also commented on how I hadn't finished the bottle of wine yet. We laughed over that. He and S demonstrated some new karate suff.
it wasn't bad. I'd say some pretty big steps for H.
