Still Hoping, Your holiday sounds like it has been a busy one. I'm glad to see that you spent some of the time w/friends and that your h behaved himself quite nicely when he came over.
The new year shall prove to be an interesting one. He's warming up a bit, but he's still discussing legal fees. Let's hope that the discussion stays a discussion and nothing moves forward.
As far as the trip, he's still sending mixed signals. He may be looking at you as a friend and not a wife. They do tend to talk that way at times. Keep your expectations at zero. Things could change again before a trip is scheduled.
Enjoy the good times and know that he could slip back into the fog at any time.
Happy New Year!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
