Is He Really Happier?

[Florie]

Thanks for the feedback. I have been trying to ensure that in being detached I am still being kind. I have been keeping busy (went to a baseball game with friends Thursday and then out for dinner/movie with another friend last night). I sense that he is curious about my plans (I don't give him details). We have had a few little interactions over the last few days...Friday he received a sprts jersey in the mail and came down to show it to me as he had tried it on and asked my opinion. He was also very friendly and talkative with me for a few minutes before he went out today. While our interactions are limited, I am being positive and friendly and he is doing the same. Whether it means anything or not, it makes the house a more pleasant place to be at least and I can't complain about that :o)

I agree about the email too - at first I was emailing a lot and now I do it much less and try to respond more than initiate. I am going to keep occupying myself with things I enjoy, being 'lovingly detached' and be patient for now. Thanks again for the encouragement!
