tl2, sound advice. The closest he had ever got to conceding his responsibility for his outburst was when he acknowledged that I had the right to be hurt by his outburst.

And when I suggested that he stopped the counselling since he didn't think it was helping him, he blanched.

Overtures wise, he hasn't been keeping his distance away from me. It used to be that he would refuse to sit opposite me when we went out for dinners. Now, he would make an effort not to get away from me and he will actually look me in the eye and initiate conversations.

I don't think that he will be falling over himself 'to get into my good books' soon. Because he feels that I have to prove to him that I am worth going back to!

You can call me Dory/ Grl.

As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
