Here are some mini-goals that I've achieved in the past couple of weeks since the separation:
H hasn't mentioned divorce or mediation or the coparenting plan in a couple of weeks.
H has started talking more than the bare minimum to me...occasionally tells me about things that happened with the kids
H has told me about some future plans, to be considerate as a coparent
H has disclosed a couple of personal things (work, sleeplessness)
Not reassuring:
mentioning dating (trigger by my setting a boundary around honesty)
continuing to systematically remove items from our home
Mini-goals:
H comments on any change that I've made
H touches me in any way
H mentions the future in a way that indicates uncertainty (not as if the D is a done deal)
H indicates any curiosity about my state of mind
H initiates any activity that would involve us being together as a family
Any suggestions/refinements?
In case you're wondering, I'm working on GAL goals too.
