Hi - This is the first Monday in a looong time that I have not been dreading. Because NG made it a point to tell me that he plans to work from home, not 6 feet away from me. I do think this is his way of re-building confidence.
We are still not completely there, little things set me off, as I'm sure they do him. Take for example dinner on Saturday night. We decided to have some dead cow at a fairly swanky place, I got changed but he comes along in his usual weekend gear. OK, I kinda let that pass, though mentally note the lack of effort. We stroll to the restaurant and he just walks in, leaving the door slamming in my face. Hmmm. This is not new for NG, and I gave up making a deal of it a long time ago. But I KNOW he is capable of better manners, because it was one of the examples OW gave me as to why she enjoyed being with him, his charming ways, holding doors etc. So of course, it puts me right off my meal, and he sees it. We brave on, and try to both act as if.
We are really beyond the big issues I think. It is these little things that I don't seem to have such a good handle on. Not earth shattering, but just getting stuck too often for comfort.
