Michelle! You sly devil you... Good for you. Sometimes you have to scratch a dog behind the ears, 'nuff said!

I really liked your letter and reading your thread has helped me realize some of the things that I did/didn't do with respect to my H.

Don't call him, he will call you. If he is stressin' out, you calling him will only give him an outlet for that stress and undo all of the great progress you have made.

How was St. Paddy's?

I probably had, but that he couldn't remember any times off the top of his head.

I had gone to a store often to purchase some dark chocolates often. During a visit a clerk whom rings up my purchase asked me if I remembered to purchase my chocolates today. I stated 'not yet but thanks for reminding me sometimes I forget'

The reply was 'I have to remind you you are a man'

Hope the positives keep going.

That's funny NHFAS!

I'm glad you sent that letter. Obviously it was well received!

and yes, I agree you shouldn't call him, let him be a man and handle this. Don't have any expectations of how it's going to turn out either, who knows what OW is going to try to pull with him... hopefully she'll act all needy and stuff and he'll be annoyed with it! I'll pray it goes well

Thanks everyone. I don't expect he is going to have an easy week, so just trying to stay busy - somewhat difficult as I am on break from school lol. So I'm playing on the computer a lot, cleaning my bedroom (that may take all week!) and generally trying to relax and catch up on sleep. My roommate came home sick from work today, some kind of stomach flu thing. So I'm trying to be around to help her out too.

St. Paddy's was great! The parade was so much fun. Met up with two of my GFs and my mom and baby brother. The H of one of my GFs played bagpipes in the parade with the firefighters pipe band so that was pretty awesome. I'll have to get some pics off my camera soon. I was moving a bit slow this morning, had a bit of a headache lol.

Hi, Michelle. Don't think too much about the NC. As you already know, he said he's dreading certain things, so it's very likely he has a lot on his mind at the moment.

I'd hold off on wishing him GL until tomorrow. Send him some praise and support first thing in the morning so he will know you remembered.

Maybe just send a text message if you really want to, keeping your distance was working so I would keep doing that.

He does have a lot on his mind at the moment. Just let him work through his thoughts. Let him miss you. Patience (I am one to talk about patience\:\))

I think I may splurge and "waste" the 15 cents on a text saying GL tomorrow am. I am trying to balance giving him space and making sure he realizes the door is open.

It's gonna be an interesting weekend though lol. Got an e-mail back from MIL asking about dinner Saturday, but then saying SIL may not be up for it. I told her I was free Sunday, not sure what H has told them though so she may be trying to plan separate things.

Yes, I think it is important that they know the door is open. Hopefully after last weekend he knows that.

What is going on with MIL and dinner this weekend? Did I miss something??
