Well, I've been on and off here the last couple of days (snowed in here, the weather in this country is foul).

I text H and said I wanted to inform people we are 'dating' by April 30. I said we could keep it a secret until then with my blessing, but after that I wanted to be honest (stops him from mucking around indefinitely and never committing).

Then I said 'please can I have our dd's on Tuesday?'

Now I am terrified, I usually wait for him to bring them to me and I don't want a resurgence of old behaviour (as was during the court battle).

I also don't know if I did the right thing setting down boundaries with the dating.
I'm scared I might frighten him away, but I wanted to do it for me, does that make sense? so I'm not his illicit affair for the rest of my life and we can have a grown up relationship. Only, it might have been too soon to mention it.

Do you think I've blown the DB'ing or was that an okay thing to do?

Jo

PS: I haven't called him and not going to, just left it as a text. Will see him Saturday.
