Thanks OP, D, HB & SCH - you all seem to agree that the way he is behaving at this stage is normal...that's encouraging.

SCH - If he didn't ask to R - I would not be doing him any favors, but I will take into consideration what you'd said...maybe I need to re-think again.

H came over today, we worked in the garden, small talk, he was OK and fairly friendly. When we were finished, I made D dinner and offered him some. Then we were sitting outside in the sunshine...didn't talk for a while....kind of semi-comfortable silence. I was waiting if he would start talking and he did. It was kind of strange conversation, don't know what to make of it.

Him - "I love this backyard, it's so beautiful, it would be a shame to sell the house".

Me - "Yes"

Him - "Well, will you?"

Me - "You mean sell it? I don't know...it depends"

Him - "Don't you like living here?"

Me - "I do"

Him - "So you would sell it because you think that it's to big just for you and D"?

Me - "Yes it's to big just for the two of us, but I don't want to sell it"

Then D came and we stopped talking about it.


What was this all about? Was he "fishing" and wanted to know how I feel about him and where I stand about R? Or was he letting me know that he is not planning to move back....I'm lost

Maybe I should have told him that I hope that he will move back with us...I really wanted to...but I didn't...wasn't sure if he is ready to talk about it.

Any ideas?
