I believe in Miracles

[istherehope]

Thanks Jen and Sep,

I agree, I need to stay the slow course! I haven't reached out yet, beyond the response to his email, and I waited nearly 48 hours :). My guess is he thought I'd jump on it(after all he brought it up twice in IM too).

I am appreciating the nicer contact, the joking and the nicknames and will continue to match his tone, but not to test the waters unless he makes a dramatic gesture.

Jen, I need to figure out a good way to ignore something on IM if needed. Sometimes we're in the middle of a normal conversation, just chatting about the pets etc., and suddenly he throws in R talk. He knows I'm there because we were just talking...I've tried to be brief and change the subject when possible, like when he asked if I got the email. Thing is we still need to discuss my return dates. I am purposely waiting until the last minute as it will give him more time to soften, and for things to improve. Problem is he gets really freaked out about this. I wonder next time if he starts that conversation if I should say let's set a time to talk about it when I'm not at work? In some ways he's like a little kid...

OK hope you are both enjoying your weekend. My internet is still down so am typing this on my Blackberry!
