That sounds like great news. I'm sure the common advice is to take it slow and still have zero expectations. Many of us expect the Hollywood reunion - but it does not happen that way. Yes, the DB,DR are going to be key.
As a man speaking - you need to play a little hard to get. There is nothing a man wants more than to chase his girl. Don't throw yourself at him, but don't reject him either. Make him work a little - but again as a guy speaking play fair. It would also help if you gave him a little too. Make him feel like he is getting what he wants too - just a little at a time.
I hope that helps. I'm rooting for ya.
I hear you on the Hollywood reunion. I know this is just the beginning of working on the issues that got us to this point. In addition to MC, I'm keeping my IC to help me work on my stuff.
Playing hard to get is probably a great suggestion for most people. In our case, the biggest issue in our marriage is that our differences in sexual libido and my poor handling of that situation has made H feel that I don't desire him enough. So, for me, playing hard to get would feel like more of the same to him.
I need to project confidence (no clinging or desperation!), but I also need to flirt and initiate.
