BF, my son's not a big fan of jello either. Went back to the doctors 2 days later. Turns out S4 does have a hairline fracture in his arm and his elbow was slightly dislocated. He now has his very first cast (yellow with blue stripes), but he's taking it very well.
I'd like to think that things are slowly getting better between H and I, that maybe we are heading in the right direction. We still have a long way to go, but I've been seeing many little improvements and many more glimpses of my "old" H. It seems as though he maybe slowly coming out of "it"? I've been seeing a more affection from him (even if in smallest forms), we've been intimate, teasing each other, and his overall appearance and actions are more on the positive side.
He still doesn't wear his wedding ring, doesn't say ILY, hasn't mentioned where things are between us, what he wants or thinks.
Yesterday was a pretty important day for me. I had my oath ceremony and became a citizen! H came, as did MIL, S4, and a friend. It must have been awkward for H to sit with MIL and my friend. She knows about our sitch, and this was the first time he's seen her since the bomb.
At the end of the ceremony we went through a congratulatory line where family could join us. H and S4 came up and we all went together. We shook hands with the governor and the judge, and other representatives from congressional offices and other organizations. Too bad nobody remembered to grab the camera. Doh! We could have gotten a picture of us as a family with the governor.
After the ceremony H left and went back to work. MIL, my friend and S went out for an early lunch. H texted in the middle of the day and asked what we were doing for dinner. I gave him a couple of options and said we could go out as well. As always, he didn't make a decision and said he didn't care. I was hoping he'd want to go out and celebrate my new citizenship, but didn't say anything. When he got home, he said he felt like steak, so we ended up going out and had a good time.
H slept on the couch again for the past 2 nights, which irritated me quite a bit. I ended up asking why, and he said it was because of his back and that the bed hurts his back.
Now he's off to a weekend away at a casino. He said he was going with a friend from soccer and his friends. I wish he'd stay with us, but I understand that he wants to go and have fun, and he hasn't really taken vacation or done anything fun in a year. S4 and I were sitting on the couch when he was leaving and after hugging and kissing S4 good bye, he actually leaned in and gave me a kiss as well. No ILY, but a kiss. I'll take it.
