Thanks all for the constant reminders and support. Little interesting development overnight.
He never called or checked in with me. I ended up having no idea if he went out of town or not, but assumed he did because his overnight bag was gone. I was very anxious and tried hard to focus on my kids and tell myself to stay calm.
I was just falling asleep around midnight when I heard him come in the door and almost run up the steps into my bedroom. I acted as if I was sleeping and as he entered the room immediately said "Kit?" (that is his loving pet name to me). I open my eyes and said hi. He said, "oh just wanted to see if you were sleeping. How are you? I didn't go to Boston, obviously." I said, "Oh, did you work this late?" He said, "no, I have been just sitting in a restaurant for the last 3 hours. . . . by myself. . . . .reflecting. (Long Pause) I feel better tho." I said, "I'm glad. What restaurant". He said "Houlihans". I said, "i love it there". Then he proceeded to ask me what is on the schedule for tomorrow, offered to help with the kids and made a little small talk as he got ready for bed. Then climbed into bed with me and went to sleep.
This morning when he woke up, he wasn't overly friendly, but not cold. He asked me to help him with something and offered to take kids to bus stop. Asked what I was doing today.
I know these are good signs, but this could turn south quickly. Any advice on how to carefully navigate?
Does a MLC seriously make serious headway sitting in a crowded restaurant for 3 hours by himself. ??? Is this meaningful or just typical cycle stuff? Can I do anything to keep the momentum going?
