Dia! You seem to be on the right path... You knew there was going to be a pullback, so it didn't catch you off guard, of change your attitude. Keep things comfortable for him, the next time he may move a little closer. Your patience is going to be truly tested.
Thanks, Kett and Jeff. I am peachy, today - just peachy.
I googled the lyrics for As the World Falls Down, and they are appropos.
"As The World Falls Down"
There's such a sad love Deep in your eyes. A kind of pale jewel Open and closed Within your eyes. I'll place the sky Within your eyes.
There's such a fooled heart Beatin' so fast In search of new dreams. A love that will last Within your heart. I'll place the moon Within your heart.
As the pain sweeps through, Makes no sense for you. Every thrill is gone. Wasn't too much fun at all, But I'll be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down.
Falling. Falling down. Falling in love.
I'll paint you mornings of gold. I'll spin you Valentine evenings. Though we're strangers 'til now, We're choosing the path Between the stars. I'll leave my love Between the stars.
As the pain sweeps through, Makes no sense for you. Every thrill is gone. Wasn't too much fun at all, But I'll be there for you-ou-ou As the world falls down.
Falling As the world falls down. Falling As the world falls down. Falling. Falling. Falling. Falling in love As the world falls down. Falling. Falling. Falling. Falling. Falling in love As the world falls down. Makes no sense at all. Makes no sense to fall. Falling As the world falls down. Falling. Falling in love As the world falls down. Falling. Falling Falling in love As the world falls down.

The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.

I love the picnic analogy, I am so up for a picnic, although it would feel better if H's castle wasnt three counties away, he need blooming binoculars to see me lol! My only hope is that word gets back to him via my S(21). But I have got my blanket and a glass of wine and can sit here all the time.. I cant wear my wedding ring it upsets me too much so I wear my eternity ring on that finger, it reminds me that I have eternity on my side..

Um.. OUR castles were 200 miles apart at one point. Geographical distance is far easier to overcome, IMHO, than emotional distance.
Glass of wine, a nice chewy baguette, some brie - delightful day for a picnic. And yes, I love the picnic analogy, esp. the part about the LBS handing the WAS the bricks to build the castle with.

re: the language barrier - remind me please. Is your native language Greek or Italian?
I wonder if English is the only language where 'falling' is part of the whole love verb-ery? As I think through the others I know, I can't find anything similar.

Emailed H mid-day today. Light and short and 'just business'.
---------------------- Subj: Quick check in
Just making sure I have the plan straight...
You will be coming home at the regular time today - 5 - 6 pm, right? Is an easy supper ok - spaghetti, again? If you're planning to visit a store, I would make garlic bread, or maybe even bruschetta, if I had the right kind of bread to do it with and maybe a head of garlic. No need to make a special trip, though. Just if.
I will pick up kidlet at school today.
Cheers!
Dia ----------------------
He called about an hour and a half later. His voice was bright and cheery - he'd forgotten I was to pick up kidlet today. Spaghetti was fine, but no, he wasn't planning on stopping at the store. Was that ok?
Sure it was. We'll just go with what we have.
Then this note of hesitancy crept into his voice. He was planning to game with his buddies tonight. Was that ok?
Translation (and yes, I'm mind reading): Does this whole cuddle business mean I suddenly forfeit my autonomy to a whining shrew who assumes that Doing H Stuff means I don't love her?
Dia (happy and breezy): Sounds great! See you tonight.
DB three-pointer, nuthin' but net!
