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.
And just like that it took a dive last night just like you said...then went back up. He was still being a little more talkative than he had been, instead of completely ignoring me. I took this as a chance to reach out a little more. I got my soup last night and sat on a different couch but in the same room with him watching tv. He was watching stuff about Anthony Weiner and all that. I'm sure you know the story about him cheating on his wife several times. Anyway, I never should have sat in the room with him. He used Weiner's story to say "see what happens when you're a POS?" I didn't say anything, just finished my soup then went to the room. Its starting to become a ritual, he came in the room later and wanted to talk again. He said he wishes he could talk to me about stuff like before. I told him he could, like we did last night...and there it was. He regretted it. He got ugly after that and it really hurt so I went to the room and couldn't hold back the tears. He came back in and said I was acting like the victim. I told him I wasn't the victim and I know I did this to us, but it doesn't make things he says or our situation any easier. Then we talked til midnight again. I don't know. I'll finish this conversation in my next post since I was going to talk about H and I's convo last night to get some advice. In short, you were right, it is going to be a bumpy ride.
