Things are better, I think!

H & I are spending quality time together. Took a day trip for a bit of shopping last weekend, that was nice. 4 hours of driving with good mix of conversation!

H also visited my new place, loves the layout - just not the location, about 40 mins from our hometown...

He asked me if I'd considered our living arrangements IF we reconcile. I explained that I hoped since he worked from home that he would move in with me, so I wouldn't have to travel for work. He asked if my idea of maintaining both residences was still on the table (which I'd suggested early on) and I said it was. Especially in the beginning, best to take things slow...

He said he liked us spending time together "like this", as friends and maybe eventually I might spend the night at his place when I come home to visit, or he could spend a night at my new place...

I was also happy to spend a few hours with H for my birthday smile Ordered takeout and watched a movie - great progress from a month ago!

All in all, I'm very happy with the sitch today. No pressure from me for more, for now. My C says I'm giving him too much power because he gets to make all the decisions on our time together - but I'm OK with that - at least for now. I need to show him that I am ready to do anything to make our M work and he's allowed to set as many boundaries as he needs.

We both move next week, that will be difficult for both of us. We'll get through it...but it will be an emotional week.
