Had a great day with the kids That being said, S21 wanted to know how things were going with H and I. I just told him the facts, that dad has decided to rent a place for another 3 months, we don't communicate with each other much. I explained I still hope to be able to work it out with H, and showed him I still wear my wedding rings. Further stated I don't want a divorce, but, that it takes 2 people to work on a marriage. He was upset, and said he doesn't understand what the problem is. I just said it's private between us, and left it at that. It's probably difficult for him not having a specific reason to identify because he's a very "black and white" kid. It kept thoughts of H on my mind most of the day, and now I have a quiet house on a Saturday night to deal with. Ugh. Hate these moods.

Anyway, I have a question for anyone piecing or recovered.


When you started reconnecting with your spouse, after so many months of probably limited communication, was it awkward to see each other again? Awkward to start building those lines of communication? I would imagine it is, and I wonder if you get to a point it's so awkward to restart that you feel like you'll never be able to so why bother?

My Hs aunt was in town, and he said I could see her separately if I wanted because it would probably be awkward to see her ? (he added the ?) That was a few weeks ago, and that's what started me thinking about this issue. For some reason today it is really on my mind. Probably my convo with my son and the hours in the car alone. Too much time to think!

Well, a little reading and a couple episodes of Ray Donovan with a glass of wine and snuggles from my cat is in store for my evening! I'm glad I don't feel lonely in this house all by myself!

Glad to be home after a long day.
