Can anyone give advice as to how to know if you and your stbx are reconnecting, or just in the process of saying goodbye? Over the past week, we put the house on the market, house went under contract and D paperwork was filed (been a very, very rough week). Since then, H has cried in front of me, then he initiated a “talk” about our relationship for the first time EVER (and it was truly open and honest) and last night was a real doozy. H came over to fix a few things around the house, I offered some food, and we sat at our kitchen table chatting about family and funny things that have happened in our lives post-separation. Before he left, I thanked him for being so respectful of me and fair during this D process, (which he knows I don’t want, but won’t fight b/c it’s what he wants). I said it exemplifies the integrity I knew he always possessed. He was so taken aback that he literally walked out the door before realizing he forgot his shoes haha Since a short period of NC ended a couple weeks ago, I’ve been DBing and 180ing and the anger, resentment, stress, tension, etc between us has been slipping away rapidly, especially this past week and last night. He doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore, our communication feels like it’s “us” again….but not really in a romantic way…at least that’s how it feels. Does anyone have any thoughts on what’s maybe going on? Feels like my hope is slipping away and I’m now truly realizing I need to let him go. But, I know emotions are ever-changing, and it seems like I go through a different phase/mindset everyday. I’m either confused….or in denial.
