Husband Left for Second Time - 6

[Jim1234]

There are at least five or six more things from today that signify we're on the path towards reconciling ......

I no longer need him or rely on him......

and my husband said "we have to plan it then so I can come too...."

I thought I read somewhere in the DB book that accepting family invitations is ok?

Nicole, with regard to the quotes above.... I would strongly caution you against reading too much into his actions at this point. He seems to be all over the place, and I just wouldn't trust anything he said.

I'm glad to hear that you are realizing how strong and independent you are, and that you don't need him. This might even be part of the reason he's acting differently. Keep it up!

I'm bewildered by his comment, though. It kind of reminds me of my W. Don't they realize we're separated, and getting divorced, because that's what THEY want?

As far as accepting family invitations, and invitations in general, I try to do what I want to do. If the event sounds pleasant, and I want to go, I go. If I don't want to go, I don't. But I don't go because WAW would like me there. Maybe I'm a hypocrite, or just bad at DBing, but when I'm there, I am aware that I should make the interaction between us pleasant.
