Today was a better day...Ex emailed and asked if he was still going to my niece's reception party with me..So we did go together and it was nice. I didn't give him undivided attention, but a nice balance of mingling with friends and family and attention to him. He knew people there too, of course, so he did some mingling too
: ) It ended nice, no physical contact, I just waved bye and said thanks for coming, very upbeat and positive.
As of today, he asked about thanksgiving, so I said I'd like to go and so we're back on.. maybe things have turned around a bit here. It is that some days are harder to cope than others..
