Hey it's Friday night and where am I? On the BB, catching up with everyone!

I have a few minutes before I have to go retrieve my S3 and S6 from the neighbors house. D9 is at a skating show with her teacher. I AM ALONE! Haven't had that since the last time H took kids overnight (back in January for one night)

Positives:

1. H went with us (in same vehicle) to D9's music program at school last night. Then he stayed here late and tucked me in ( )!
2. H was back at 7 a.m. to get ready for his fishing trip. His friend was picking him up here. H, myself and S3 went to test our boat motor as it hasn't been working - just a quick trip to the lake. Then S3 asked when we could go fishing too and H said next weekend.
3. So that means H is planning to go up north with us next weekend. My parents have a timeshare at a resort and we are using the weekend and they will go up during the week.
4. H wanted a quickie ( again - LOL!) this morning before he went out of town. He is gone until Tuesday.
5. H is taking Wednesday off to help me clean out garage.
6. H continues to talk about the future as if we will be sharing it so I don't question anything he says.

I'll add more later, but suffice it to say, things are more positive than not. Maybe we aren't stalled, but moving forward so slowly that it is hard to measure the progress made?

Now, I've heard mention of a few books this week - Wild at Heart, Enduring Love, Smalley's Separation book and more. Any thoughts on what might work best in my sitch would be appreciated. My H's dad walked away when H was small...went on and married and raised about 6 more kids, but never was involved in my H's life - he told me one time that he wouldn't know him if he walked by him. I know that my MIL warned my H when he proposed that I would have different expectations of him than he had experienced because my dad was in my life - did this bias him? Scare him? I don't know.

I'm going to throw out questions and see what I get for responses. I am also going to catch up on HoldingOn's thread because I think her H's dad was also a WAH. Any other thoughts? I have been ready alot of other threads but not always posting as I don't know what to say...believe it or not - LOL!

Thanks as always folks!
