Victory. H wanted to come by and get his mail. I told him earlier in the week I would put it on the porch. I told him would be home after 7. I put the mail in a bag and set it on the front porch and went about my business. I did not watch for him. After a while he texted that he got the mail and thank you. I texted back - Ok. Have a good night. He texted back - ditto. That was it.
He seems to have forgotten about what ever he wanted to talk about on Monday.
Beckyb, I am a bit simple, as you know, what is your victory?
Is it that you had a good exchange with him via text? Is it that he thought to initiate the text in the first place? Or do you think you got one over on him by leaving the post for him to collect from the outside of the house, while you were doing other things?
I see some baby steps of improvement here in your H's behavior, or maybe I'm being it a bit simple?
