We spent Thanksgiving evening together. He bought the turkey (pre-cooked from Whole Foods) while I made the sides. We ended up doing our own things during the day and just coming together for dinner so as to limit any stressors for both of us. He went to a couple friend's houses, I worked out and rode my horse.
So, dinner turned into spending the whole weekend together. It was comfortable but also felt new. We really felt like two independent, caring people spending time together, instead of our co-dependant selves. I don't know how to describe it except it just felt different.
We are both adamant that we continue with the separation so we can both keep working on ourselves. But having spent the time together this past weekend, it does give me hope. Cautiously. Because we have cycled like this before.
For now, I am going to keep concentrating on me and what brings me happiness while letting him go to do the same. And we'll see where this goes...
