Last week, (after months of baby steps) there were so many positive gestures including texts, dinner together at his place, my place and at a restaurant, buying a joint gift for a family member and H's gesture to divert a potential argument, that I couldn't help feel we'd turned a corner. Then H left to visit family. I saw him the morning of his departure but there was no other contact for the rest of the day. In my head I automatically said, "Well I knew that was too good to be true."
Then yesterday H called at lunchtime but I was not available. I wondered what that was about.....H usually texts, doesn't phone. Did he need to tell me something? He called again later that night. It was to have a chat and share what we had been doing..... Maybe H is coming unstuck????
