Stage 2.25

[istherehope]

So I just couldn't contain myself today, was so excited about the possibility of going to the Czech Republic for the holidays. I'd talked to my ex on Skype for about an hour, and he was doing the hard sell.

I wanted to talk to my H soooo much about this, but wasn't sure how to bring it up. So I IMd him and asked what he wanted for dinner tonight, sort of a typical question actually as I always cook. Then I made a joke, and he joked back, so I took the opportunity. I mentioned how my ex had contacted me again and how he and his GF were really excited about the possibility of us coming. He said "I'm fine with going, but only for a few days." This was because they really wanted us to come for a week at least, and we have no vacation days. It's hard to see on IM whether he is enthused or giving in to me, but from his first reaction in person, I do think he is happy about it if nervous. It will be low stress in my opinion as we will be staying with someone who is local (Ex's GF), and will not really have to do planning or anything else.

So once we have actually purchased the tickets I will feel better, but now have to be careful to ensure that H does not feel bulldozed into this. I told him on IM that this trip would be about whatever he wanted to do, so I think I will get a book on the Czech Republic and ask him to see whether there are specific things he would like to do.

This is very weird, but good weird.
