Well, more positive signs. Early evening was challenging as we talked out some parenting disagreements (but we did so trying to really hear each other instead of arguing and shutting down!).
Afterwards, I went out for a GAL - a good play some friends of mine are in. When I returned, H was here. Usually he ignores me, sucked into his computer, but we started chatting and opening up and relaxing - we actually started talking like old times. I don't remember feeling that comfortable with him since the bomb. No big things, we were just joshing back and forth, in a connected way, and it was great to feel him FINALLY dropping the defensive, angry, know-it-all front he's been putting up.
H softened, cracked, and I saw a peek of the more vulnerable H that I haven't seen in many long months. I feel really good.
