Hey W2G! Thats amazing news !! I was watching yuor sitch for signs of change and then bingo! I bet you must be a bit pleased? I think it is very significant that he has started calling you honey again and the fact that he acknowledged that you two have a lovely home and he doesnt want to sell is definetly a baby step also (a big one!). I heard from a friend back home my BF had said the same thing and I was very encouraged by that...theres no way someone can be done with an R but be so resolute that you're not selling the marital home. And I didnt get the impression (as I dont with yuor H) that they just dont want to sell for NOW, its more about not wanting to let go of it? I know this for myself as my BF is going ahead with selling his other house, as he said, I think its time to let go of that now..but no thoughts like that for ours.
Are you happy to stay living there anyway? (did you not want to sell? I know you have some career uncertainty, so does that affect where you live?)
Also, I agree, thats amazing progress that he is telling you your D is beautiful like her Mum. I'd be thrilled if I heard that! Looks like whatever you are doing is working !? I'm impressed with you noticing other men! I thik that shnows great strength. I've only started to do this this week too. I've been doing notetaking and kept running into the same sweet guy. It struck me how emotionally open and friendly he was and it got me thinking a little too. My BF is so withdrawn (ok, he has depression!! We'll let him off), but he has been for up to 3 years and this guy was a refreshing change. Mind you, he's probably all of 20 ! So a no go anyway.
We all want a little love and appreciation and to feel atrractive. I think its natural to learn to smile at other men! I'm guessing you dont feel guilty about this though, or disloyal?
