MrBond, Thank you for the encouragement. Things seem to be going well right now. The set back was due to the OW and how she had had a bad day and he was being a friend to her and letting her know things were going to be okay. It made him miss their friendship. It put him back to square one for a short time. Now he seems back on track with trying at our relationship. I am trying to be patient with the whole yo-yoing he is going through. When he told me about talking to her at work I just nodded, made sure that was all it was and let it go. He relaxed that night and we have been okay since. That was two nights ago. He is back to saying I love you and giving me passioniate kisses goodbye. (on the weekend and when he left for that night he could not even kiss me at all, then it was just pecks. He is a guy that puts emotion in his kisses! That is another reason I was thrown for a loop on this whole affair since the kisses never changed during the whole thing. C says it is because he never stopped loving me.) I hope this time the piecing continues and I can actully move my posting over the piecing to show I am making some progress!
