He's Just Not That Into You

[RegretfulLA]

Thanks Hopeful. Things do seem to be going smoothly right now.

We went up to the in-laws today. I haven't been there in almost 6 months. Have not seen H's stepmother, or his half siblings since then either. I was expecting a chilly reception but you know what, it was fine, just like nothing had ever happened. We all had a pretty good time. They all like to sit around watching sports so I made the most of my time by doing some early xmas shopping on my phone.

I'm honestly surprised at how well things have been going. We get in MC and he's very glum but a day or two passes and it's ok. Weird. H nodded off early and was snoring and I let him know. He joked with me - "what does it sound like?" (answer: combo between a motorcycle, lawnmower and coffeemaker "Am I the world's biggest pain in the a$$ or just in the top 5?" (answer: top 5, but this is one of those nights I'm glad to be in the other room) "If I put this hood over my head will it muffle the sound?" (answer: if only!)

It's a good sign for him to be kidding around like that. It certainly is nicer than what I was getting for a long time - a moody, broody jerk. I guess I just have to accept the limbo and keep putting one foot in front of the other. My dad told me he gave H a pep talk and told him to do the same - just take it one day at a time.

I did mention that I didn't think our MC was really right for us because he's too passive, and left it there.
