What does he want?

[cantbreathe]

Awesome article. Thank you! In fact, just a while ago, talking to my friend I think I had a little epiphany. I've been saying it, but not hearing it. He has only ever said he thinks about leaving or doesn't know if he loves when I push him to talk. If I kept my mouth shut, in all likelihood, he would just want to slide back into our life and we could reclaim our family or at least he would probably not bring it up unprovoked. Yes, conversations need to be had...eventually. Not now.

I was amazed last night by how enjoyable the latter half of our evening was. I am encouraged and determined to ride this out. How could I have not seen that I pushed him to every hurtful comment? The original problem is on him, and yes he's played a role here, but I think it's time I own my part.

I will check the library for that book right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

He texted me about when he'll be home. I'm not answering. I am cooking dinner. If he's not here when it's done, we will eat without him.
