I emailed GF about places to help her find jobs because she is very unhappy in her current position. Anyways, instead of e-mailing me back, she called me later that afternoon.
We spoke for 30 minutes and she used most of that time to vent about her sisters and some issues with friends. As always, I made sure to show complete empathy for her and it went well.
I stayed later at work so I can listen to her and eventually had to go for a DR’s appt and told her I would call her back later.
I called her later that night and it started off very well with some joking and she got settled into bed and began to open up to me about more of her problems. We spoke this time for an hour! She talked a lot about her man friend, which does bother me, but she is just friends with him, and she used to not bring his name up because it would bother me so Im thinking it shows her trust for me is increasing.
Also spoke about upcoming ski trip and how she is making a list of food and she included me in her small group of people to share food with. Im very pleased with this! I am taking her food shopping on Sunday and Im hoping I can also have lunch or dinner with her but I wont push for much.
I think things are going well. Slowly? YES!!! But in the right direction none the less. Each building block will hopefully bring us closer and closer.
Wish me luck!!
P.S. Another thing is she didnt say goodbye to me on the phone at all! This is important to me because we would never say goodbye because it always sounded too permanent and would usually end our conversations with goodnight or later. Anyways, I cant expect this to happen all the time but its always nice to see her old self peek through once in a while.
Anything worth having is worth working HARD for!
