K, so I was committed to staying away from the boards until after labor day but then something that seems possibly significant occurred. So I thought I better post..

H came by this evening to pick up the kids to take them school shopping. We both looked at each other, kind of sad. He gave me a very gentle and sweet 'Hi', blinking back tears. Then he did something that he has not done since OW moved closer, he gave me a big hug and a kiss. It was delightful. I told him he looked handsome.

So now, I'd say more than ever, I need to step back and STFU. I've thought a lot about forcing his hand, as Starsky mentions too, and I still may at some point. But boy, it seems like it would be so much better in the long run if it came from him. So I'm going to try to hold out some more.

Say a little prayer for me that I can keep my balance and center; you all know how whenever he makes a move I start freaking and yanking on him to move it along!
