The boiler is working !!! Pressing that darn reset button managed to kick start it (who would though that would happen when a press a button marked RESET)
Very little contact with H. He turned up unexpectedly on Wednesday morning and was surprised to see me home. Apparently he came to walk our dog. I think he has made a copy of the bottom lock key (I only gave him a key for the top lock) as I accidentally left a spare set of keys out when he had the girls Tuesday. Urghhh
That's it in terms of contact. A few texts, a quick chat on the phone today about D12's counselling session.
I wonder if I have "dropped the rope". I don't think so, but my grip on it is no longer as tight. I remember writing some time back that I would know I was moving on way after I had actually moved on, and I think that is true. I don't think about him nearly as much and the lovingly detached comes naturally. I don't double and triple think every action, I text when I want to, I respond straight away if I see a text come through, and not if I don't. I call if i need something urgently. I send pics and he sends pics of the children. The thought process is gone.
Sure, it still hurts from time to time and I still very much want to reconcile, but those thoughts are in the background instead of constantly replaying in the foreground.
I have not gone on anymore dates or indeed, engaged with any of the men who have contacted me on the OLD. It is just too much effort. I am going to dinner and to a comedy club with the scientist tomorrow night (i seriously think I am at risk of falling for him) and to dinner with the single dad next week (as a way of convincing myself I am NOT falling for the scientist).
