I actually felt like alot of what I was doing was working. I still have a long way to go to becoming an expert DBer but I can see where some changes had been made.
I think my biggest mistake was questioning him about going out on saturday night. He was acting kind of weird the next morning but may have been cuz he was hungover. Then I got on him about driving, etc.
What do you mean about bringing him up short? I feel like I really need a 180 but don't know what it should be. I don;t know if I should act as if everything is going to be okay, act as if he is leaving & talk like it is no big deal or what. I am going to try to not ask questions about when he will be home at night this week from working on his truck. Last week he called & let me know so I could get dinner ready for us. I guess this week I will just do for me & not expect him.
It is hard when they come home but I am more scared about him leaving again - that this might really be it this time. One of these times he is going to be serious & file for D.
When he decided to move back home, we were spending time together cuz he was helping me paint the family room. He offered to help & than gradually started talking about how when he saw me at work & stuff he realized he misses me. It was actually in one afternoon that he went from saying that he was going to move out from where he was & find a place on his own to saying that maybe it was time for him to come back home. That is how fast he changes his thoughts. So, he could change his mind about moving out again but he seems to have his mind set on it.
