S16 talked to me last night, btw. Guess what he said? He would rather H leave than continue all this "maybe, maybe not" business. He said it makes him feel very anxious and he would rather just know. Said maybe if H can't make up his mind he should go - at least for a week or 2.
SO, basically he confirmed what was discussed previously: the holding leaving over the head is a form of emotional abuse.
Last night was another calm night for the most part. H and I did our 30 minute convo and actually did a logic puzzle together, which was fun. We ate dinner as a family for once and H then asked me if I minded if he played some XBox. I then watched a movie with the boys.
H went to bed before I did for once and when I came to bed, he was very affectionate, wanting to scratch my back, etc...
SO, I don't know if he's coming around or just wanted some action or what the deal was. If the only change had been when I came to bed, I'd say he just wanted sex. But, the attitude, etc... beforehand was different as well. Don't get me wrong - I'm not getting my expectations up. I learned better from doing that at the weekend retreat! But, it's hard for me to fathom him actually wanting to leave when he's acting this way while he's here.
