Part 20 - reassembly instructional

[edz]

Hi all

Thanks rd, dawn and gan.

Not been about much. Saturday picked w up and we took s to maths and w and I had a coffee at the beach and talked. W still nervous about the conversation with mil. My dads being childish right now as I havent voice called (emailed and messaged but he can be a little sulky if hes not called and frankly ive been busy but still tried he didnt reply or call me or visited despite being retired - heyho been much the same for 30 years..) so can validate at parents in general. Afterward both w and I had housework and mundane matters to take care of so I took her back to the flat.

That afternoon she called to tell me shed had a call from mil to chat, we joked back and forth and I said not THAT chat she said..yes. Mil said shed guessed from w's mood and being happy. After w's fears and doubts, mil was absolutely fine about it if w is happy.

We had a long chat and w invited s and I to go round and watch a move with a takeaway so we did. After dinner and s going to bed we caught some TV and I crashed on the sofa.

Sunday we told s we are getting back together, we will be moving from the flat and house and in somewhere new. The big factors will be S's home education or school resources work and WS support network but were thinking august so the timescale just moved up. He is as expected happy to say the least. We had a great day with a trip to a stately home and picnic and then called by to feed the bft and picked up fixings for dinner from my kitchen. I stayed over at the flat with w last night...

Today started in the best way any of my days have since, well I dont remember made w coffee and we chatted, s having got himself up and gone on Minecraft. Just waking up today made me a happy man.

We got wft some new bits and got some groceries for w for this evening and dropped w back before s and i went swimming together.

Tonight just s and I at the house as w has a little decompression time as she's still adapting to not being alone and our new plans.

This week well be picking up my unaltered ring, well also get me a new one next month. W will put hers on when I get that one and in the meantime well start working toward one home. Lots to do bar the normal packing I have to look into how my lease can be ended and notice etc etc.

Still lots to do and as w and I said there won't be an end to it, this is now an ongoing process that we will both stick at into m2 and beyond but she said this morning for the first time she can honestly remember she feels good about it, us and me.

No backsliding from me, I'd obviously like not to have to be apart today but I understand and respect it will take her a little time and she's already moved on so much I have no issues in respecting her space. Today or in enshrining that space in m2.

What next? Doubtless some potholes speed bumps and unknowns and maybe even some pulling back slightly from w but no sign of that right now with w actively seeking new places and us talking on the how's etc.

An awful lot else happened and was discussed, some not relevant some I'll keep to myself but its been a very busy few days.

As always guys thanks for the constant support.

Keeping on keeping on..
