Thanks for your post. I do think things are going really well right now. In regards to the cuddling after sex that has actually happened a couple of times now. And I agree it is huge because this last time I know we were both really tired because it was almost one in the morning and he had mentioned being tired beforehand so it seems like it would have been a legit reason to get up and leave right afterwards but he didn't go anywhere so I was content to stay put too!
As far as moving back in together it has been brought up a few times the past couple of dates we have had. I have primarily brought it up and asked him when he thought we would be ready and he said that he wanted to see what our counselor thought about it before making any decisions. He really wants to move out of the place he is staying now and since he is in transition with work he has not been able to follow through on his house buying plans so maybe after our session (hopefully this week) we can talk about it in more of a solid way. But at least he is open to it. My mom still thinks we need more time apart and while I agree in some ways I also am so ready to be back together again I don't want to wait. But we do have things that need to be worked out and I get that. I don't want to rush into anything and end up back at the beginning a few months from now. We need to work through our issues and learn to deal with some things and that is what counseling is for!
One small update. . .I mentioned that he would be unavailable this weekend because he is doing his drill weekend with the army. In the past he would call me on Saturday night (after lights out) to talk if he could and I just assumed that he would not call this weekend because we are not living together and would like the weekend alone with his army buddies. So while the thought of "wouldn't it be so nice if he called" did float through my head I stuffed it away as an unrealistic expectation and went on with my night. However at 11ish I realized I have a text message and assumed it was from someone else but it was him saying goodnight!!! I was/am floored. To me it says he was thinking about me and maybe missed me. I don't want to read too much into it but it is a HUGE step and I could not be happier about it.
So I am a happy camper and am going to stick to my guns and wait for him to call or text me next. He will get off drill in a few hours so we will see. . .
