Hi Daisy,

From someone who would now love to be anywhere near her H, please look at the positives here. As Jody said to me, focus only on the positives, no matter how small.

You did talk to your H yesterday, even if it wasn't very much.

Remember that often the WAH pulls back after he has gotten closer. He told you himself about being in a depressed mood. Depression does weird things to people. I am now speaking from experience. Jody suggested to me that when someone is depressed, it is a lot of effort to even make contact. Now if he is even slightly depressed, you are the last person he will want to be around right now, as he doesn't want you to see him that way, and may also think that he can't give you anything, can't offer you anything at the moment.

Monday is only a few days away. On Monday you will have a better idea of what is actually going through his head, provided he can be open in counseling. I would say to also be prepared for the fact that after this potentially emotional experience, he won't feel like hanging out for very long. You are making real progress though, and if you can deal with these small setbacks, I predict that things are going to be positive.

Sorry that you're feeling a bit down, but maybe just try to set yourself some personal goals for the weekend. Could you do something to pamper yourself this weekend, a pedicure, a pint of ice cream etc.?

All the best,
ITH
