TVS, Sunny, LoisB, and MissAgnes~ Thank you for the birthday wishes!! I'm also glad to hear there's no such thing as too much cake!
snodderly~ Thank you! Trust me, I was very surprised by his actions on my birthday. Then yesterday, in the morning, I wasn't able to really sleep so I was up at 5 and was reading a book in "my" room. H stopped in the doorway on his way back from the bathroom. I told him he could come in he didn't have to stand there. He came in, sat on the bed, started kissing me! Well yes, that went to where one would think it did. After he was getting ready to leave for the gym and he sat on the bed for a few minutes and said he was considering going back to bed for an hour. Just to see what he may say, I said it's nice in warm in here if you would like to join me. He chuckled said it was tempting, but he needs to go to the gym or he will regret it later.
Before he left he hugged me several times. He also told me he likes my "new attitude and seeing me smile a lot more these days." In an effort to build his self esteem I told him he makes me smile. I also told him it helps that I've gotten help for the depression I didn't realize I was in. He told he didn't think I was ever depressed. I just said I was and let it at that. Makes sense now that he can't see his own depression at times, he doesn't realize it's more complex than the frowny face on those old commercials.
The other thing I found interesting, before he left he told me he would be late getting home Friday night, like midnight. I thanked him for telling me and said, you going on a road trip? He said no, the movies. I asked Oh the new 007 movie? He said yes. I can't believe he actually gave me information, and didn't act like it was the end of the world. I took the time to tell him I will be late, but not that late Thursday night due to a parent meeting at work and if I have the ambition the gym after. He acted like I didn't need to tell him anything.
I then asked how his sister was doing, he made a strange face, I couldn't quite read, perhaps disgust.... said he guesses ok, they got her moved back up here from MD. I asked if she picked a name for the baby, she had, he told me what it was.
Then I asked how his one brother was doing. He said not well, a friend of his passed away in a car accident last week, he was only about 30. I told him I was sorry to hear that. He said, well that's life. I asked him to let his brother know I am so sorry to hear that, only if he is comfortable telling him. He said ok, don't know if he will or not.
Last night we had leftover pizza and watched a couple of episodes of Supernatural on Netflix. I had brought up I heard Disney had bought the rights to Star Wars, asked how he felt about that, since he likes the Star Wars films. So we actually had a kind of normal conversation.
Before he left for the gym this morning he popped his head into the room and said have a good day.
Still no expectations, but I'm enjoying the positives, and hope they keep coming....
