Purg said - a rule to avoid anything that has 'love' concepts in it- let alone in the title... very brave! I bet the similarities weren't lost on her as well... maybe she'll start thinking.
Rick said - not so much brave as ignorant! The similarites were certainly not lost on her. We kept looking at each other in a holy sht kind of way, and laughing.
Purg said - Enjoy your...mmmm, errrr, dates? Museum and castle visits sound like more than just a 'hang out'
Rick said - they certainly have helped, so much so that she's now taking the lead on suggesting and planning. They really do feel like first dates lately. Just lots of fun.
I see my sons watching this happen and I can feel a kind of collective sigh of relief from them. Really, to go from the almost total anarchy we were experiencing in March to this is quite nice. If anything, the thawing is really helping. I'm not going overboard though. Whatever this is, a recovery for one or both of us, a reconciliation, a stage in this, whatever, I know there is much more time needed ahead esp for my W who is dealing with a number of lifelong issues at once. Step be step here.
