Hi HaWho, thanks so much for your words of encouragement.

I agree to a certain extent that he should off course do all the hard work but my H really does need to be levered out of his comfort zone before he takes any action. Once he gets going he takes the reigns but he is not good at initiating.

I (very naughtly) carried out a little experiment on H last night. I dropped him a text and asked how his weekend was. He responded and we had a few texts back and forth. In the end I wished him a good week and signed off with 'hopefully catch up soon' (a throw away comment we use here in the UK. Doesn't always mean you have to arrange something). He responded by wishing me a good week too and then asked if we would like to go to lunch next Monday which is a holiday here in the UK.

I rest my case m'Lord.....


Me - 47

Don't leave me behind can't you see me I'm shining... (Years & Years - 'Shine')
