I think I had a baby step. To give you the background, I rang H on Saturday (first time for me to initiate contact in probably 4 months) to ask for his advice with a building matter at work (H is a builder/carpenter). Of course I could have figured it out but H was very helpful and explained to me a bit about who I should contact and what I should ask for etc. etc.
Anyway tonight H rings and tells me he has done a bit of research and these are the exact people I should contact, and if they cant help then where i should look next. He had obviously gone online and searched and worked out who could do the work locally. So I was very appreciative. I tired to move the conversation away from such practical matters and I asked if he'd had a good weekend, he answered but definitely more reserved and then he said he had to go.... So its a baby step I think. Dammn I should have been a bit more mysterious and gotten off the phone first.
I guess I'm back to waiting now? I'm going back to NZ (where we used to live and we met and got married etc) for work in 2 weeks time so I'm looking forward to catching up with all my bestest girlfriends. I'm thinking that if I've had no contact from H between now and then (which will be 3-4 weeks by the time I get home) I might be brave and send him a text message saying "had a great time in NZ. Do you want to catch up for a drink sometime?" Too much? Not enough?
