It’s hard to say who he’s more distant around. It seems to be mostly his family. It’s really hard to tell whether it’s his mood causing it, or the situation causing the mood, though. The weekends seem to be really hard for him. He spends half of the weekend trying to find things to do away from me and home, but then alternates that with coming home and really wanting to be with me (sometimes I’m here, sometimes I’m not – he’s asked me to come home a few times). I think the fact that the birthday dinner was Sunday afternoon after a whole weekend of this back and forth thing may have had something to do with it.
The “glass half full” side of me thinks he’s wrestling with whether he really wants to move out or not. The “glass half empty” side thinks he’s struggling just to hang on through the holidays. I don’t ask and try not to focus on it, but I do wish I knew what’s really going on.
I still have hope for us too… just tryin’ not to get too emotionally messed up in the process.
