Not really piecing and trying not to jinx it, but

Had a great weekend with H. His visitation with our son is every Friday night and on every other weekend, he keeps him until Sunday at 12. This was the two night weekend but on he and son came here last night and stayed.

H brought his cat. To see how he got along with the 2 cats here. Is this a big step? LOL Like introducing "my kids" to "your kids" when you're dating another single parent? I have our almost 15 year old cat and a 6 month old kitten. He has a 2 year old cat. The kitten decided to show she was tough and hissed and his cat spent most of the time hiding under the recliner in the living room. His cat did walk around the room a bit this morning. There wasn't even any paw swatting. I call it a success. H spent the night kicking my butt bowling on the Wii. For someone that was making fun of a game system that "makes you flail around like a dork just to play", he's quite into it now. I do have a suspicion he is just using me for my Wii.

This is feeling more real every day. It's been almost 4 months since he started reconnecting (and I didn't have a clue what it was all about) and almost 3 months since he spit it out that he wanted to be a part of our lives again. He was the king of back and forths early in our separation, but it'd be a few weeks of connecting, max. Other than that "freakout" text early on that I'm still patting myself of the back in the way I handled it, he hasn't wavered at all.

We haven't fought or disagreed at all. We talk about our past casually and remarkably he remembers again all the good times we've had. You know how when they want out history is rewritten and they were never happy... There has been absolutely none of the previous MLC/WAH anger there was years ago with the "you never..." and "you always..." I don't feel any anger either, amazingly.

I do find it hard to sleep with him in my bed. It's been so long that I've been sleeping alone... It even took me two years before I stopped sleeping on "my" side and took over the middle of the bed. What's funny though is that "my" side was/is on the far side of the bed and I do still walk all the way around to there to get in--even when I'm the only one there. I got used to sleeping without the freight train snoring... But when he curls around me in the mornings it makes up for that.
