Inside My chrysalis 5

[Georgiabelle]

SS,

I'm glad you liked your IC. It sounds like it may be a good fit for you and that is a wonderful thing for YOU!

Yes, it seems like you've had some positive interactions with your h. Regardless of what the future holds, I think that is a good thing. You have a child together and you want her to see what healthy Rs look like and you can show that by example. Regarding bar stools.. Will your h want to R? No one knows. While I understand DBing is doing what works, the reality is that it is for you and can benefit all of your relationships.

I don't say this to be harsh, however every positive interaction isn't a sign of ...anything in particular. It's an opportunity to show you are making positive changes and are becoming the best SS you can be. I think your h said he felt he dead inside and he's not interested in a R right now. Perhaps that changes. However, for you and your D's benefit, please don't live your life in 6 month increments (I think your h said he knew he needed 6 months or something to that effect). Life is far too short and your D is this age only once. Don't let a projected time of when someone thinks their feelings *may* change dictate how you live.

I think you are doing really well. I know many people are ready for *something* and I know that is a challenging place to be. Hang in there!
