So now I am always a bit wary to put too much stock in our interactions given that I have been burned so many times before...However I can say that it has been pretty positive so far. Before we went to the outlet mall, we watched part of a movie together. Then, we went to the outlets, listened to lectures on the iPod on the way there, and were just generally friendly with each other. Oh--before we left, we walked to the store. H was going, and I asked him if he wanted me to go. He said "if you want." I had been expecting "no way," the more usual response. So I went, and it was actually kind of nice to do something more normal together.
At the outlets we just went to different stores, and H spent kind of a lot, which actually was a good sign as lately he's been wanting to save money to move out...it was fun shopping for things together, and joking around. Now we're back at the house, and he's downstairs, but called out "Hi ITH", something he hasn't done since pre-bomb. He is downloading a movie for me too. He is going to come up here and watch TV with me while he studies, whereas usually he would hang out downstairs and study.
I know, baby steps and I'm on the rollercoaster, but at least for now it's a pleasant ride...
ITH
