Pardon me, but I don't think I was sharing any insights. I was just repeating YOUR insight. Reading what you wrote helped me!.......so thank you.
GAG, I think I've come to recognise that no matter where the ideas originate having them expressed from another perspective always allows us to reconsider and depth our thoughts and ideas. If nothing else, this journey is certainly one BIG learning curve.
So yesterday I decided to take a positive step towards H after my recent set back. Yesterday I had a friend to lunch. H worked until about 9pm. I sent him a text and offered for him to call by my house on the way home from work to collect some left over food for his dinner. He replied thanks but apologised that he couldn't be sure what time he would be here. I said that wasn't a problem.
When he arrived he came to the door and came inside. On the way in he took my front door mat and stood it against the brick wall ( it was soaking from the heavy rains we have been having). He stayed about 15 mins and made small talk before heading off with the food.
This morning he sent me a message on skype thanking me for the dinner and when I replied he replied again saying, "thanks again."
So hopefully I have taken a small but positive step in the right direction. And now, with my new found insights I can keeping moving in a positive direction.
Got a message also from MIL asking why I haven't been in contact. Now, I could really 'go to town' and tell her what I think!!!!
However, I have thought about this and I am going to respond to her in a positive manner although I will tell her I was disappointed that she chose to email me her complaint against me. I have decided that there is no point in having her annoyed with me if I want to continue moving forward with H. So I will take my time but I will respond in a manner that leaves the door open to further communication.
On a final positive, the ted stockings come off tomorrow!!!! Just as well as the weather is warming up now.
