Limbo is the new normal

[slow_it_down]

The dark cloud hanging over my house has finally given way to sunshine. My H isn't completely moved back in yet but he stayed over all nights except 1 so far. He's also making more of an effort to cook and do the dishes.

People on the boards always say that the old relationship is dead and that you've got to start a new relationship w/ your spouse. However I can't help but feel like I just got my old H back and I'm so happy to see the guy I once knew again.

Also I'm going out of my way to give him more time and responsibility w/ our S, like asking him to give him his bath yesterday. I always thought i was being easy on him out of curtesy since he works a lot and has no experience with kids. However by going easy and not asking for more I was unintentionally standing in the way of him figuring out how to be a dad. He might not get things right on his first try but I see his confidence growing each time I encourage him to help in new ways.

He's a good dad. I'm proud of him.
