This morning I was home [for a change] because of S16's suspension and I was making breakfast for us all. I read paper while H made his lunch and we chit chatted pleasantly.

Then I was on my way into laundry room when H said well i better go, thanks for breakfast and he came over and side-hugged me and kissed my head. I said ok bye.

I'm not reading anything into it... but it's the first purposeful physical contact in 3 weeks, and it is the first time on this roller coaster ride that I have not initiated contact. Might have been a fluke but I'll take it anyway.

I do feel stronger, less needy - in fact he's lucky I LET him hug me LOL

I think maybe I just might be starting to GAL.
