Hi SD Yes I do need to let go after each little moment, he has definitely pulled back a bit, not as bad as before, but definitely pulled back.
I mentioned the movie to him last night and said he was welcome to join me if he wanted to. His response was "why are you going on your own to the movies" This response surprised me and I wasn't expecting it, so I merely replied that there was a movie I wanted to see and I felt like going Tuesday night. There was no response he just went back to reading and then went to sleep.
So now I don't know, do I remind him, I believe he may have forgotten, he left for work this morning, kissed me and then said see you tonight, he took his gym gear with him as well.
