Hi Opt,

Thanks for your post :).

There is definitely reduced tension. There is the elephant in the room of course, i.e. the R talk that hasn't happened, but in general things seem REALLY comfortable. Tonight H talked about buying some tool chest to put "our paint" in next weekend. This is as far out as future talk goes at the moment, but every week he seems to bring up the next weekend and things we are doing together, so this seems positive.

In terms of the housesitting, it's not really close, but even on the night where H kept threatening the D, he said that while I was housesitting I should stay weekends and some weekdays. My thought on this is that I would like to stay at the friend's house only 2-3 nights per week. Thing is I think we are making such progress being in the same house. As you said, what a difference from a month ago...

If he would actually talk about things, then it might be easier. For example, my ideal scenario would be that I stay there 2-3 nights mid-week, and on one of those days we go to MC. That way after the housesitting, assuming I just move back in, we'll have been able to talk about things in advance. This is all still confusing though. He has never answered me about MC. I think if I pushed, he would do it, but I want him to want it too...
