NSN, BTW, why just lurking?? You can always chime in...
H made an interesting comment last night. We were curled up on the couch. He said he was thinking of buying "us" a movie with his last $20 from last week. (I make the bulk of our income, pay most of the bills, etc, since he is returning to school shortly.) Then he pointed out that he sees things as "ours" now, not just "yours" and "mine."
Kind of an interesting shift. The entire time we've been together, he had this thing with dividing up everything we bought. He used to say "if we split up, this is yours, and this is mine." I always dismissed it as just a quirk, since every other thing he always said was "I can't stand to be apart!"
Anyway, he pointed out last night that now he feels much, much more comfortable and relaxed with me. And, that it seems the seperations was good for him, in that regard.
Hm. Glad it helped someone. My trust went down. Okay, it's not that bad anymore...it'll be fine with time... I'm just glad he feels much more secure now.
