Slow your roll! wink You REALLY need to reign in those expectations. You're getting WAY too excited everytime your H texts or calls. These are nothing more than baby steps on a long, long road to possible reconciliation. I remember seeing some signs like this early on that really got my hopes up, I thought we were well along the road to recovery and that unlike everyone else my sitch was different and I was going to beat the odds and reconcile quickly. Yet here I am almost 10 months post-BD still in limbo. Looking back I can see now that I was getting excited over things that were little more than my W just being a nice person.

So just settle down, accept that your sitch is not going to miraculously heal overnight and keep your eyes on the distant goal instead of the day-to-day fluctuations.

LOL SS.. here I go again, he called/texted a few times while out.. I ignored and called when I got back in. He seemed to go on and on and ummms during our last convo, I could tell we were getting close to some dead air, so I pretended that I had another call and said, I g2g. Feels good.

While out, bought new pair of jeans (feels good)

TX AS... keep me grounded... But, at least tonight I can enjoy my high and have a nice time at the party, instead of being my usual down.

Listen to Ad that is no detachment and codependency . I know it's hard and I still struggle with this myself.

Your highs and lows should be independent of your husbands actions and behaviors. Otherwise you're not detached and codependent.

That txt should have been replied to in the am or at min a few hours later

It's hard but it works.
