Sold the house, and the closing is tommorow... Since I moved out at the beginning of March, there has been limited contact - mostly financial/house stuff. He has cut off all contact with our dog, so I have him full time. H says it was just too hard.
This week we spent an evening together getting some things done around the house. I was in the master bedroom, and he was standing at the bottom of the stairs. It was quiet, and he yells up, "by the way, you're looking really good." All I responded with was "thank-you." I couldn't believe it. It was the first compliment he has said in the better part of a year. He was quiet the rest of the night, it actually seemed like this was all hitting him.
Today we were getting ready to leave the house for the last time, and we just sat out on the back deck for a few minutes. At first it was just small talk about his apartment, and how our families are doing. Then, again, he goes quiet, and asks "so, are you seeing anyone?" I said, "No, are you?", Him "No."
That was the end of that. I was a little surprised he asked. Maybe he was hoping I said I was seeing someone, so he could be rid of me.
We got on the subject of divorce and timelines, and he said he would like to get settled into his new place, and go form there. I agreed. One step at a time.
It was so odd leaving the house for the last time. I can describe it as saddness and relief. Everyone tells me it's only bricks and mortar. We could always get another house.
I'm assuming from now on, contact will be limited to legal house stuff, and bills.
Any comments, or suggestions?
