Its not a 'might'...they will. And probably today/soon. Ive noticed that in general when someone opens up, its usually pretty quickly followed by a large step in the other direction. I hope not, but be watchful and prepared. This is not a process that goes linearly forward - stay strong through the down times.
Yes, they will. I don't know if its because of the stuff he has going on at work that he needs to lean on me at this time, but I'm glad that he is reaching out and feels like he still can. I wanted to hug him so bad last night and when I said that...he said no, but I did put my hand on his and he didn't flinch or pull it away. I'm just going to keep working on myself with little to no expectations, but still hold on to some hope.
