Journalling:

At dinner the other night I told H that I often got upset by his text messages. Either I was misreading/mis-interpreting them or he was being mean. He said he wasnt trying to be mean. I suggested he either call or we talk in person so that there are no mis-interpretations. He agreed to not SMS anymore. And breakthrough!........today he rang. He rang to confirm the time to pick up S3 and also to tell me that he quit his job. Yep you heard right he quit.

I was gobsmacked. I couldnt believe hed done it. Im not reading anything into it. Im just surprised he finally had the guts to do it. I praised him for having the courage to leave and said I was excited for him and the opportunies his new job gave him. He seemed really happy.

He said he went to the shop at lunch to purchase S3 a football shirt for the game we are watching on Saturday night. We joked about the fact that he owed me money and I said well then perhaps you should buy me a football shirt too. He laughed and again it was a very pleasant conversation.

These are baby steps and I realise that I cannot have too many expectations. If however, I were to be honest with my self, thats the part that scares me the most. I am starting to get expectations and I dont want to. I need to slow my thoughts down and back the hell away......
