Piecing - where to go from here?

[Hurt-but-Hopeful]

Hi all - thank you for your responses. I haven't posted in a while because there hasn't been much different. We went back to the MC a day before he left to go out of town for work for a week. It was a god session, but it seems like he's just hanging back and seeing what I do & if I keep working on me. So yep, gotta keep working on the patience and trust. He did say @ MC that his desire was coming back slowly. That was encouraging to hear. It was exhausting to be home alone for a week with a 3 year old who is determined to push all the boundaries lately, so I didn't get much time to do things for myself last week when H was OOT. I've been able to do more this week & that has lifted my spirits.

Our MC did talk about planning something to do together each week, even just staying home after S goes to bed, and alternating who plans it each week. With him being gone, that of course didn't happen, but I'm hoping he will want to start doing that. He has an IC session with the MC today. I hope he will want to talk tonight but I'm going to give him space and time to bring it up if/when he wants to.

Lotus - good to know you had a goof experience with Retrouvaille. I've looked into it & there is a weekend scheduled in the fall about an hour from where we live. I hope to bring it up a little later & I'm crossing my fingers that he'll be willing to go. He's kind of anti-church right now, but I know its not religious counseling per se. It sounds really good.
