I do tend to listen, but not believe. Although I have been noticing subtle changes in words he uses and his actions. BTW--his words and actions have NEVER matched.
I'm feeling this new calm about the whole sitch, maybe it's that I've detached a little more in the last couple of weeks. Even while we were married I tended to be detached, didn't put all my eggs in one basket. But, I didn't learn to keep my mouth shut, to think before I spoke, to pick and choose my battles wisely, to think a little bit before I speak. Now I feel much wiser and am working on changing these ways and have a come a long way. Too also come to this board for my venting and ranting which has made a HUGE difference!!
In some ways I think he wants me to have a BF so that he can move on...who knows.
