Stuck in Holding Pattern

[ben11]

Well today's session went better than expected. I went in feeling as close to hopeless as it gets. I was truly prepared to official go our separate ways.

We each spoke with the MC for 15 minutes each so he could ask us where each of us were at, and after he had us in together. Basically, we have both agreed to move forward together. We came up with a reset plan with the MC, which consists of some concrete tasks we have to do each week. This includes 1 phone call a week initiated by each of us, each of us initiating a 'date' per week, as well as a daily message of encouragement via text, email, etc. We also discussed some other things relating to moving out to a new place, and some vague timelines.

All in all, very positive. I'm cautiously optimistic. W is scared but I think she's positive about it too. Trying not to get into cartwheel mode just yet, but I'm extremely happy, especially considering the PMA I had over the last few days.

There's still a ton of work to do, but I hope today is the day where things really turned around for me, and for us. Wish me luck!
