Yes, That's what I've been thinking. There has been movement lately... since late September a few fairly significant (small, but significant) gestures.
That's kind of what I meant when I said I have nothing to lose. I want to think about how I will handle it if he shoots me down. I want to be ready for that. Or whether I can have no expectations.
But first, I'm going to treat myself to a delicious dinner and a glass of wine. I'm not GAL tonight-- I am doing some self care. And allowing myself to be sad today. That is ok and I'm not going to feel like a failure for that.
