Just before I went to bed and he started to leave for his place I told him he was always welcome to stay here overnight if he wished. He said he'd rather do it all at once (meaning move home) and then, "Don't worry, we're gonna make it." I really do believe that. I think I do just need a little more patience. This probably won't look like it does in the strategies I create in my head. So what, right? As long as we are working and trying and taking one day at a time, I think I can be okay with that.
And I would like to add that patience is something that takes TIME...along with that you really NEED to keep working on you because sometimes what your mate is looking for is long lasting change not just temperorary change to get them to come home...
So keep GAL...giving time and space...working on you (controling and balancing your "strategies")...and working on patience...because then he will know (and so will you) that you really are gonna make it!
