No, not trying to win him. Just want some moments that are stress free. Moments that not about the past, or what went wrong.
I built an island in the kitchen months ago for us. So when I cooked, we could interact, be together sharing. It was always him in his cave and me in the adjoining room or kitchen.
I wanted to connect more during the empty nesting. I figured as I finish things up , I can offer some wine. He can open and pour on the other side of island. We can just hang and talk.
We can eat in the kitchen him on one side me on the other , or we can sit down in the dining room. Whatever he wants. I just know, this is the second time he's willing to do something other than going to lunch in a restaurant.
Yesterday went well, I hope he had positive thoughts for the rest of the day and evening. That he wanted to share the place where the animals get butchered, and thought I'd like it, is a small step in the right direction.
I am interested in hunting, and personally camping too! I want to learn to use a bow, and rifle.
