Jenn - I see my H trying to make his apartment feel very home-like. He has things hanging on the walls. He bought plants for the balcony and put a bamboo plant inside. I actually found all of that really hurtful at first. I'm thinking, you have all this stuff in our actual home. Now, I realize that it is a sign of him not feeling all that comfortable alone without all those comforts of the home we built together.
Note to self: H suddenly seems a lot more positive (and less miserable) if I answer my front door in a bathrobe. It wasn't intentional. He just got here to drop D7 off this morning for me to take her to church earlier than expected. A reminder of what he's missing can't hurt, I guess.
Now, back to hanging out with D7. She's staying with me for a few hours because H needs some time to decompress. Not really sure what that means, but I'm grateful for the extra time with my D, so I'll take it.
