Can My Marriage Be Saved, Pt 2

[a girl]

Just some journalling to keep me sane.

He's been diligently house-hunting all weekend. We talked briefly - he was worried I would think he was "cherry picking" and trying to find things wrong with the houses so he didn't have to go. I told him no, I didn't - I just wanted to make sure he found the right place for S, since S would be there. He looked/sounded sad while we talked about it.

He also sent me a mail telling me he knows I don't want to talk to him unless I have to, so he won't initiate conversation with me, and will assume if I initiate it with him, it's an exception, and not an invitation to start talking to me again. That said, he's still initiated several conversations. Again, I'm cordial but not warm. I did bless him when he sneezed, because I'm not rude.

I was in the kitchen making lunch, and he came in and said, "Oh, did I make a mess? Do I need to clean something up?" I was like "No, just .. making lunch." He also folded/hung up all my laundry that was in the dryer.

A bit after that, S was talking to me and was particularly cute, and he called, "S, you're so cute. I love you, boo."

I don't know if what he's leaving is starting to sink in, and I'm not going to start wondering/hoping, but it is interesting behaviour.
