Weekend update...

H is away for a week. He called last night to talk to the kids. After each child talked to Dad, I got on the phone to discuss a kid related matter. Before I could start talking, H started telling me all about his day. We talked and laughed for about 10 minutes, and I told him I had to go.

When I acted as if I had moved on, my H couldn't have cared less. Once I started taking an interest in him, he started opening up a little more. A few months ago, he wasn't even speaking to me. I know he's being nice because I asked him to be civil, but it's a start.
