SO glad to hear about your date!!!It sounds amazing, and good for you on giving up control over the seats. Like you I would have really wanted to pick the seats etc., but I know we have to remember in these weird and confusing times that even the smallest decision like choosing a seat can turn into a metaphor for something else like controlling the entire relationship.
And sex too!!! You have no idea how jealous I (and probably most of the rest of the board!) am, and of course thrilled and happy for you at the same time :).
Really great and encouraging too that he makes "we" comments. I think that says so much. As you are doing so well together, have you ever tried slipping in very subtle future comments such as discussions about Christmas or New Years? Maybe that is too much for where you are right now, but just wondering whether you're at the stage where you can test the waters.
Sounds like for 2 months you have made great progress. Is there any kind of check-in date that you agreed on where you would revisit the separation? Maybe this is too much control, but I hear that many couples do this, or maybe this is something that your counselor will bring up. We have ours, but only because it's when I get back from a foreign assignment, so it's sort of forced, not sure which is better.
Anyway I'm really happy for you. It sounds like you're back to the dating and romance part of things. I think my DB coach would have said this is stage 3...
