I like the spin you are able to put on the together time. It shows you're flexible and creative. You'll need both coupled with lots of PATIENCE.
Just for arguments sake, what if he never comes back? How would this change what you're doing now? Would you abruptly stop and "move on"? How much fight have you got for this man you couldn't live without?
I'm in a position of thinking I may not even have the chance at a chance. Does it stop me? No. Why? Something deep inside me (soul, heart, call it waht you will) tells me this is what I need to be doing. I'm listening. How about you?
