I completely understand.

It is hard not to get excited and feel hopeful when you see positives. I am struggling with that right now. Currently, H is pretty nice to me. Compliments me, asks questions about me. Shows concern when I am tired or don't feel well.

Still sleeping on the couch though. Still no hugs, kisses or ILY's. I've stopped expecting them, and that does help.

I don't ask him to do anything with me. I do however invite him to do things with the boys. I tell him he is always invited to come with us, but he is not obligated to go. Sometimes he comes with us, and sometimes he doesn't. It is fine with me either way- my focus is spending time with the boys, not him.

He can't reject you if you don't ask. We usually end up learning this the hard way.

I know there are times when the minutes seem to drag by, but soon you'll see the hours turn into days turn into weeks turn into months. And you will be so grateful for the passage of time.

We can and will survive this.
