All of the above is GREAT... as long as you do not look any farther into it than you got a free meal and some extra time with your daughter.
I have watched you struggle for so long, and I just don't want to see you take any steps backwards.
This may not be what you had hoped to hear... and yeah, there will be people that will want to jump right in and declare him "out of the tunnel..." ...just keep in mind this: recently I accompanied my X to a funeral. There was LOTS of "weirdness," including (and this is one of the smaller things)him holding my hand most of the way there and home. It was a very long trip, incidentally. Thing is, he has done stuff like this for YEARS and nothing has ever changed.
I know things are different for everyone, so who knows what is going on with your x. I just want to make sure you don't let this throw you off. You, like me, struggle to get into any new relationships. I just really hope more for you than what I have done to myself these past several years.
