So H came home and was super chatty, just telling me all about his trip and asking me about my week. We only had about half an hour because I had to go GAL. but it was a very nice and positive interaction.
I validated. He opened up a little bit about his frustrations with his friends he went on the trip with. Then he looked at me like he hadn't really seen me when he came in and said "you look well. Really happy".
It was really hard not to try and touch him though. He came and sat with his face inches from mine while we were looking at my phone. Definitely the sort of situation where we would have kissed in the past and it was hard not to automatically do it. He did hug me 4 or 5 times in the space of half an hour. I felt like he was generally closer - physically - in terms of how close he was sitting, with his leg touching mine, scratching my head etc.
He did ask me one odd question -- "how were you with me coming back? Was it ok?" I didn't know what he meant and I must have looked a little panicked and it got a bit awkward. He said "I didn't mean to start a serious conversation". I gathered myself and remembered a technique I read about recently (expressing curiosity rather than asking a direct question) asked him for clarification, and he just said sometimes it's hard if you've spent a few days alone and someone comes and invades your space. Not sure what that was about tbh.
Whatever comes of this experience I am improving my communication skills.
I also invited him to go to a maze with me this weekend and he said yes, it sounds like fun. I said he can pick a day/time.
Me 28 / H 28 M 1 / T 2.5 BOMB 12-3-14 "I don't feel like myself any more" Still living together, separate rooms.
but it was a very nice and positive interaction.
