This is such an interesting time in your life, and as an observer, very exciting too (although I can imagine it's maybe not that exciting to actually live it).
I'm glad contact with BF has increased, and that he knows he has some thinking to do. That he is verbalising that seems a good thing to me. If only he'd speed it up and do what we all know he SHOULD do!
How are you feeling about things? Do you feel like continuing with being patient and Geoff Capes-ish? It must be frustrating to be so close to a turning point and yet not quite there.
