Doing the "Friends" Route Pt 2...

[Abbey]

I know MZ, I know people mean well, ...I'm just really tired today.

Yesterday was a long day, a tough day, and then it smoothed out and H and I actually had a nice night together. He's crawling along at a snails pace back in my direction. Some of the things he's said in the last 4 days are *new*, some are back to the "old" H's opinion, he even said something to me this afternoon, that is quite contrary to his thinking that we should live apart for a while. I asked for clarification, was pleasantly surprised at his response... so I smiled and started my "we'll see, one step at a time" phase. Affirm the positive, and listen without commenting on anything negative.

I know it's all spin cycle right now, but based on what we went through before, this thing is forwarding to a stage we were at before our crawl back to the top of OUR mountain. During those times, it was definite changes in his (and my) attitude that defined the phases.

He's starting to set his own boundaries with OW about his daughter. I'm not going to jinx something, but this week might prove to be interesting. (More on that later).

Anyhoooo... thanks for the vote of confidence MZ,... sometimes you have to rattle the cage a little more to the left or the right, even when the rule book says not to.
