Limbo is the new normal

[Confluences]

It sounds like his pursuit of the new career path/training has given him some clarity and new found purpose. I think it's important to remember that it is hard...and I mean really, really hard in this economic climate right now. There a lot of things working against people right now and that resistance creates a whole host of difficulties internally surrounding the concepts of one's self-worth, self-direction, and the journey to perhaps re-invent oneself.

The fact that he held off on pursuing the Attorney was a result of him stepping back and gaining a new sense of accountability within himself. That text mssg was very telling and should maybe, just maybe, give you a brief moment of clarity that you need another round of patience.

I'm not saying you should pursue the detachment mode of thinking because that could be drawing him back towards you.

The next time he starts talking about all his great cooking episodes, I'd say "Instead of telling me the story, why not allow us to share in the experience with you?"

Also: Needing More~ Enjoyed your insights too, they're helpful. I've been on this Faith Journey with Divorce Care and in order to have a Testimony....you got to go thru the Trials....and that is often hard.

Keep the faith..both of you....and keep in touch. You're obviously not able to dash off so easily and that's a good thing.
