Hiya Kelly - Baby steps are great, except for when they fuel expectations - and there is also the challenge of maintaining momentum, right?
Weekend was good, I could see many ways in which in the past I had made life more difficult for myself. Really went in with NO expectations, and we just did fun things. I also like it that for the first time in my memory, NG is the one hustling and chasing for things to be done. Right on.
Something that I am struggling with is the lack of endearments. If iI say something, NG is fast to respond. But initiated by him? Only the ML. Not sure what this means, because I know he was quite vocal, and peppered his regular communications with ex-ow liberally with endearments
I'm not sure I want to have to ask for this, the fact that I do it, and certainly express delight and joy when he responds, should demonstrate that this is wanted, right?
Slowly
