HA! H just texted me asking me if I went on a date tonight!!!! Wow.. a good 180 tonight if you ask me. I didn't respond! Finally my 180 worked...although I am not getting my hopes up! That feels good though
Word to the wise, keep doing EXACTLY what you are doing. Do not cave. Trust me.
Oh and with regard to your other post about your daughters, I am again just giving my take. Can you try to stop telling him what to say or do with them? This may be a theme and I know that I did it too but since separating, I really take the position that H needs to figure it out. AND, I can't fix that for him. It is part of processing the ramifications of his actions and he needs to have his own R with the kids. You are VERY lucky they will even express their feelings with him. My boys will only tell me which creates a bit of a quagmire. Also, I'd venture to guess homeslice doesn't know what he wants or have the presence of mind to size up his condition yet...give it time.
Anyway, I'm actually feeling good. If I focus on just taking care of what is in front of me, I can handle this. You're doing great!
