WAW...now the LBS Part 2

[HOPEFULinCALI]

I wish I'd have had that lesson prior to the conversation that your post wasn't harsh enough...lol. It also appears, although you didn't state it, that you talked less than him and spent more time just listening to him talk. Regardless, I think you did wonderfully. You stated exactly what you needed. Funny, how observant we are about the small things now.

I think that you held yourself together quite well.

When speaking with H I am always working on being aware of my verbal and nonverbal communication. I realize that although I am entitled to my opinion that it may not always be welcome and may be viewed as invasive, overbearing or whatever the case may be.

The small things, true. I only wish I could have been more appreciative of the small things when things were good between us.

Saw W Sunday picking up 5D - was brief, friendly, and nice. No negative topics, tones, etc...when leaving said "have a nice day" and she said, "u2". About a month ago, she would not have said squat. So, "u2" is a very small difference that is positive. Her friendliness - especially the contact after latest D talk, her continuing to "prolong" things, and relenting on equal time with 5D are big positives that I can hold onto for now.

Those "small" things are adding up! Sounds like things are back on track. Yay.

I really appreciated your response to my post last week when W brought up D stuff. I reflected on it some over the weekend. When I think about it or of other things that I left out of my post, I think about things you wrote and I feel...well, I truly thank you.

Don't mention it. I always appreciate your support and advice.
