Let me be the first here to congratulate you on you steady successes -- welcome to Piecing.
I'm glad to catch up with your sitch (and thanks for stopping by to check on me, and for your nice words).
As you know, my H is not finished with his MLC, and we are separated AGAIN -- but while he was gone all last year there was steady progress for us, too -- similar to what you've got going on.
(My H moved out again because the O-chick wagged her you-know-what at him when she found out we were getting back together again -- H couldn't resist "one last taste" as he told me. The creep.)
But I've been able to detach from him pretty well since he moved out April 1 -- and he's already coming around again.
I have lots of hope -- no matter what happens.
It's hard to say how long this will take -- but it seems to me your H is showing willingness more and more. The fact that he's in C makes a big difference.
I don't have tons of advice -- just keep steady. Keep doing wonderful things for yourself: luxe little gifts (that you deserve), new CDs, fragrance spritzers, snazzy skirts and lingerie -- to keep up PMA and keep romance alive.
Act as if you don't need him -- he's stricly icing.
Compliment and cheerlead -- you'll both feel better.
It may not yet be YOUR TURN to talk -- be patient.
R talk could boomerang to make you worry -- don't worry.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
You've done an ACE job -- kudos for good good work, grrrlll!!!
