WOW! Some baby steps in there for sure! Now of course, the warning, don't read too much into anything, but baby steps are definately good! You had some quality time together, he was upset at you hanging with his family but will maybe start to realize that you are still part of the family too. He was probably more angry and paranoid that everyone would talk about him and was "against" him. He obviously got over it though and was super dad at the party. Yay! The new wardrobe, well, lots of things could inspire that and the fact that he wanted you to see it could be read many ways. We will asume it was to impress you and was part of his attempt to show that despite everything, he is feeling (looking) good. Kind of a 180 by him. Hmmm.
The texting sounds like it is positive! Communication and humor back and forth is definately a good thing for the friendship and M. I am feeling just so happy for you that all of these things are giving off a positive vibe right now. If nothing else, he is making an effort for your S and that is nothing to overlook.
He did try to make it clear that "until things are finalized..." I agree that he is just trying to remind you of the "don't get hopes up". This time his words are trying to speak over his actions. Kinda backwards from what we usually see huh?
He is keeping his foot in the door, just like "pipeliners wife" keeps telling me in my thread. Just keep trying to keep the door open for him. We can only hope the foot becomes a leg and eventually they come all the way back in.
Keep me updated! I am glad you had a busy but good week and weekend with your S and H! Yay! ~T
Trust in yourself...you are the only one that can guide your future...
