still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

OK well good news- I met a very good friend on another forum last April when I just started going through this. She reached out to me, we started emailing and had a lot in common! We have been emailing, talking on the phone and texting ever since.

So I decided to fly out to see her! I tried to do it for my b-day but the tickets were like $1400 and WH was right next to me as I was figuring out options. He said he bet it was that expensive because it was only a week away, spring break, etc. So he put in some dates for a month from now and the price is $350! Big difference! I was grateful that he looked it up- was about to just say "screw it" and spend $1400!!

Yay! We get to meet in person!

There is something i am thinking about. I was booking this trip and got choked up thinking about leaving S for 2 days. THAT is when he said "yes, we need to rethink the visitation schedule when you go back to work."

Was the sign of me just asking him to babysit S an extra night so I could fly out there possibly showing him that I am moving forward or being indpendent? I don't know...just interesting he rained on my parade at that time.
