Surviving Separation

[Confluences]

That's good that he's warming up, I'd just keep doing what you're doing right now and see how it goes. You seem to be in a good frame of mind right now and that is a gift that you have given yourself as a result of all your efforts.

Everything that you're doing right now is putting him at ease with no R talk or pressure, so that is a good thing. I hope that he'll have a final epiphany about where his true home is and come to the realization that he needs to be there. I think if you just focus on the friendship side of things, then that will start to peak his interests about being more intimate with is feelings.

You're a lot further along then I'd like to be right now so just hang in there and enjoy this time as best as possible. I got a new book called "Hope for the Separated" by Gary Chapman and it's a pretty good read, you may want to get it at some point. The first "Guidepost" is Guard your Attitude and Actions; keep them positive. We cannot determine our emotions, but we can choose our attitudes and actions.

Drop a line when you take off for the hospital if you have time, so we know where you are with things. You're doing really good, just keep working on yourself and inner peace
