Husband left for second time - 7

[ovrrnbw]

I think my husband may interpret my lack of interest to mean that I've moved on and he thinks "yeah she's already gone so there's no use."

Or it may make him think that Plan B is no longer on the table and make him rethink what he's doing and what he wants. Either way, him thinking you have moved on will help to spur some action.

After all those calls the other week he's backed off again. But if I spend a few minutes laughing, joking, and having a nice conversation he might think "wow, she's doing great and it's nice talking with her again....maybe we can talk more..."

So he's detaching it seems like. You're wanting to pursue. Have you pursued in the past, and how did it work out? I really am curious here, because ultimately you have to do what works.

Could you define "moving on" in your own words?

Treat him like an ex-bf. What's there to talk about? It's not like he cares to be involved in your daughter's life much at all.
