I think you did a good job with the conversation. My "theory" is that we make avoiding the R talk such a "Big DEAL" that when we do talk we end up backsliding and doing EVERTHING wrong. So even though you made one mistake I think it's more important that you held everything else together.
You got some great info from the conversation too. While I'm sure it's tempting to push a little harder, remember what actions have made him miss you and at least sometimes want to wholeheartedly be with you.
be the strong wonderful person you are and make him lean over that fence!!!!
So take your positives and let them give you more strength to avoid the R talks in the future but to know that if they do start you can handle them in DB fashion!!
Still can't run right now but I'll hold it together:)
