Pieces are Coming Together

[Torchbearer]

I'm better today. I was better last night. H came by. I was still in kind of a bummed mood when he came over and wasn't sure how I was going to behave. I did fine. I let him vent about his terrible day at work and he thanked me for letting him do that. That actually set the tone and all was good from there. Not to mention that hugs are the best. They make me feel all warm and comforted.

Now we are probably going to be spending the next several days together. I don't know if he is planning on spending them all with me - it's okay if he does and it is okay if he doesn't. We both have taken the next week off from work. I usually do and he decided he needed the time and wanted to spend it with me. It'll be a good "test" period as we move closer to him moving back in. Still no idea when. It doesn't really bother me, most days I don't even think about it. I don't push it.

It's weird how resilient humans really are. You would think that living in the limbo of him on his own and me on my own would really bug me knowing that we're working on getting back together. But it actually doesn't. I go about my days and do my thing and I'm sure he does the same. We talk on the phone every night, kind of like when we were dating. But we're both pretty independent. Maybe that's what this whole GAL thing is all about. My C praises me/us for what we are doing. He says that we are getting a second courtship. We are getting the opportunity to be stronger. And most importantly, when we get through this we should be standing as two strong individuals that are together, but separate. That is what he says the long-term couples achieve. They are not intertwined but rather are two individuals that choose to be together and support each other. That is my goal.
