New and need encouragement

[Not Quitting]

Journalling - I've been really good about going keeping contact to a minimum since he moved out, texting only if H initiates and not replying immediately. Keeping responses short, same as H's txts to me usually are, and always related to S13 or the shared bills.

Last night was different. Had some really bad weather here and I know H is cycling to/from work. Decided to txt just to make sure he'd made it to where he's currently staying safely given the really dangerous road conditions - just to show that I do still care. His response was almost instant and not just one word. We texted several times during the evening with updates on power outages - all except the first one initiated by him, and most of them were not the usual one or two words, and all of my responses to him were almost instantly answered.

This is the longest conversation we've had in weeks. He even texted good night when I told him battery nearly dead and since without power still I was having an early night. Not going to read anything into this but it did make me feel a bit better that he was willing to chat (even if only by text).
