In over a year of posting, I've hardly posted at the weekend. Perhaps a 180 is appropriate NG came back from his business trip last night, and was in a very chatty mood, regaling me with more than the usual details about his meetings. This could either mean he wants to hide something, or that he is just comfortable chatting more than usual. I guess I'm going to choose to believe the latter. Maybe in time, the former will not even cross my mind

Does asking for what you want from him mean that he has to do the same in kind? This isn't meant to be a daft question, but one that is wondering if this is a dynamic that works well for you?

Do both of you have to be ready to take the same step at the same time?

Hey Betsey, I had to really think about this. And no, I don't think we both need to be ready at the same time, though that would make life simpler. But, I feel he at least needs to be ready and receptive to hearing what I want or need. And right now, he seems to be somewhat still wrapped in the how-could-I-have-done-this-to-her mode. It just does not feel like he is ready to hear about my needs.
