Leah, wow, just wow. You are rockin this DB thing like a boss! What is your secret? Have you dealt with the hurt of the betrayal, how is that going?
That is a long visit. It can be hard to DB for that long and "hold it in." If he wants to have R talks or talk about the past, just listen and validate. If he has questions or puts you on the spot, you can keep it vague. Let him know you have a lot to think about, things have been changing for you too, and you would like to revisit the conversation another time. It's okay to keep him guessing.
I agree with 25. Create plenty of your own time. I think before he comes, make some plans with friends, schedule your fitness classes, and on the other days get out for a couple hours, even if only for a walk or coffee, alone.
He needs to see you are not sitting and waiting for him. This will also give you space to let your emotions out or decompress! You may need that safety away from him.
Keep us posted! You got this!
