Sorry to be posting so much today. I'm hoping to do a counseling session, but I can't do one today and I have questions about how to handle things.

What do I do if H invites me for a walk? This is a common thing, and he seems to want to continue our friendship during the limbo time. I'm leaning toward declining, because it feels like cake eating.

Is that too unfriendly? Does it matter if he's "just" walking away or if it's an MLC?

Ugh.

I've been aiming for cordial but distant. I haven't initiated any conversation except one that was kid-related.

He brought me coffee during one of my calls and seems only slightly less chatty than usual.
