Thanks nhmom... I have been turning to the rules whenever I need strength. Reading them just now has given me another boost. A great reminder of how to conduct myself. Am meeting H, after work, for a meal out. We are still living together and trying to get on with things. He has suggested a weekend visiting both sets of parents next weekend, which is great news as they all know about our situation. I suppose it shows that he's working on our R. I have made a special effort not to big it up, if I try to push him to do something he will do the opposite. I am resisting talking about travel plans etc for next weekend and am waiting for him to bring it up. Thanks for the everyone's comments, it really is a big comfort to know that I can express my feelings on here smile
