Help me thru this sitch

Great news Pud.... That's awesome!!

Just remember to take it slow and not be discouraged if he doesn't feel the same way in a couple of days!!

Stay strong!

Excellent PM. Be aware that he's likely to pull back (run back inside his castle). Don't let it throw you when that happens (of course, maybe he's the rare case that turns around overnight, that'd be great to have happen for you).

So, no expectations. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hey, maybe you'll be able to roll around in candy corn together sometime soon.

Hey pm,

What a powerful interaction! I'm so very impressed with the way you handled it---listen and validate, listen and validate. That's a *huge* change in your communication with H from just a week or so ago. You've come a long way in a short time, and I don't think it's a coincidence that H opened up. You gave him the space to walk his own path. Good for you.

Great that he's helping a friend move instead of seeing OW. It's a good reminder that assumptions are unhelpful.

Take care.
