Things have been going well over the past week. We talked some early in the week and then skipped two days and we talked again Friday. On Friday afternoon, I was going to meet a friend for lunch and saw my EX driving down the road. We waved at each other and made silly faces (we were travelling the same direction). Later, she texted to say she had fun doing that and she offered to bring her dog by on Friday so I could see him. We had some really nice conversation yesterday. I don't know if it's any sort of breakthrough, but I'll take it.
My DB coach brought up a good point. My EX had said something to me that it really lessened her worry that I was taking such good care of the dogs. We don't have kids, but in much the same way as a man being a good father will touch a woman's heart, perhaps that is happening with our dogs? I think it's great that she initiated contact with me for this coming Friday. I will see how it goes, but maybe we can go grab a cup of coffee or something as well. I've talked all that through with my DB coach so I think I'll know her signals if she's tellign me it's ok to ask for more. Anyway, very small steps, you know? I really feel good about this, and will continue to DB. Hopefully, I'm making some cracks in the ice and maybe she's starting to notice the changes I've made etc. Wish me luck!
