What's your definition of progress? Is progress to you only defined by positive signs?

Progress in MLC is different. What seems like backward movement relationship-wise may be what he needs to make forward movement in the tunnel. This is why you need to stay as even-keeled as possible and to dig deep for patience. His moods and behaviors are going to cycle. Just because he said he wants to reconcile doesn't mean that he's going to stop cycling. Does this make sense?
