Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[newmama]

NC is no contact. I will agree on that. And I won't be able to do it with my situation.

So I decorated the tree and the mantle yesterday with no stockings yet. WH came over and said nothing about either. He is usually an observant person and notices small details. Later, he and I watched the football game so he stayed an hour later than normal. No major incidents. My team won!!! WHen he left he reminded me he would see us on Saturda. I said ok. See you later! and headed up to bed.

Today he texts me to let me know he does have plans the same Saturday night that I wanted him to watch our son. He asked me to ask his SIL or he would see if he could change his.

He goes on to say that he wants me to get out. He knows I get stuck in the house and he appreciates all I do for our son.

So I ask his SIL, she says yes. I text WH back and tell him she can watch him and then add that she said she is available most fri or sat nights for the future, too.

It sure didn't sound like he thinks I am going on a date! I'm not but I never gave him any indication to think I wasn't! I just said "out from 6 to 10ish."
