H asked if I minded company on my walk on Sunday, so we went together and had a good time. No R talk.
Sunday night, we ML again.
I met with my counselor on Monday. We talked about using meditation techniques to stay in the present and not fret about what DH will decide. The IC also wants me to find a passion to give me more connections to the world other than H.
Then, yesterday afternoon, we went on another walk and H initiated R talk. It was a long talk. I did a good job of listening and validating for the first half. Lost sight of that a bit for e second half.
Now I'm feeling more than ever that he will decide to go. He did say, at one point, "Maybe it's just a midlife crisis." I kept my mouth shut.
Today is going to be tough. I need to use this as an opportunity to practice staying present in the moment.
