Good on keeping your interactions brief. The only teeny tiny little thing that I noticed in this last post is....
" I want him to see I am a happy person without him"
...sorry, but who cares how HE sees you. YOU should want to see yourself happy without him. Let me tell you something that I have just recently realized....THEY KNOW. They know when we are acting...they feel it....they know when you are reaching out with idle chit chat (even if it's about the baby)...they KNOW when we are still pining away for them.....How do they know? They can feel it. I believe this with every part of my being. Until YOU feel solid and independant of ExH. Until you feel happy and content and confident with yourself. Until you don't spend all this time worrying and analyzing and questioning what ExH is or isn't doing....until then...he will know you are still available for the taking.
Now, I am not saying this from an expert opinion. I just really believe this because I have felt it before. It took me a while to realize it until I was reminded of a sitch where I was being pursued. The second he was "over" me....that's when I stood up and took notice...then I pursued him.
I'm just saying that you have to believe in you and stop worrying about doing things to get a reaction or feeling from ExH.
I love you. I'm strong right now. That's why I can post like this. I just know when I backslide ...you'll probably be the strong one at that time...we kinda work that way, huh?
