And apparently he *had* been kidding about only having an hour. When did I get so serious that I failed to notice that kind of thing? I definitely need to lighten up.
Something I've been thinking myself. I had friends over last night for great wine, music & light conversation. Such a different atmosphere than most recent times spent w/H, so maybe if I lightened up it would help also.
On the other hand, when you're not the type to cry/show emotions,(I'm like you in that way), it probably did help create intimacy with your H.
I guess maybe a combination of happy/light, authentic, yet detached?
