I didn't see H this weekend but did have a couple of messages back and forth today while I was studying. I asked him if he fancied a walk this afternoon but he hadn't responded so I went off to do groceries instead. When I got home I saw that he'd said "yes, what time?" It was then too late. Didn't matter. I was happy that he was going to accept my invitation as I was a little reluctant to issue invitations, considering it to be pursuing. ( and still a little sensitive about rejection)

Tonight I spoke with MIL. I hadn't spoken to her in weeks. I asked her if she had noticed any changes in H. She said she had noticed he had more to say last visit (about 4 weeks ago) and since then she had chatted to him on skype and she noticed he was sharing more information and generally seemed happier. That was interesting as it just confirms my observations and suggests that his more positive behaviour is not just about negotiating a better settlement with me.

Speaking about settlement, he was supposed to catch up with me this weekend to discuss but he made no mention. Last week he seemed to be in a hurry to sort it.

And finally...thanks Lance. I'm keen for feedback so I appreciate your thoughts.
