Sorry Upside. I do remember not too long ago that I was more in your shoes and wanting to talk and wanting more. For me, the fact that I stopped those kinds of convos helped tremendously. I don't ? what we are doing anymore.
I see more progress now and as he feels more comfortable I think it draws him near. If you stop the convos do you think it will help you and your h?
Your h is making an effort, not the way you would like, but he is making an effort. Bite that tongue and enjoy your h for what he can offer right now or say h I am done and then move on. You do have 2 choices.
I do think Upside if you let go of the convos you will do and feel better. Keep in mind your h could be away for another year. Is he worth waiting for him to finish going through this crisis? Keep in mind when these convos happen you take 2 steps back.
Think of your h as a date. Would you have those convos with a date. Probably not. I know not easy, but I think as we let go more and more it does get easier.
