Yeah H really likes the new look spare room and I must admit it does look very nice. It is all finished now and looks great. I haven't started my painting yet as I have needed to catch up on housework as it lapsed while I was doing the decorating.
We had a lovely family day out yesterday too which we all really enjoyed and when we came home H looked at me and smiled and said he felt really happy!
Unfortunately I did crack a day before my week goal about the other subject but in a way it turned out to be good for us both to clear the air.
I've had some really positive things from H the last few days too. He said ILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and that he is sorry he hurt me when he left and he doesn't intend hurting me ever again. He also said I'd have a great wedding anniversary this year and that I will have forgotten all about this by then (ie the unresolved ML issue). I wonder what he is planning to do?? It is months away yet but the fact he said it I think is really really great. He even said it was good we'd had a big row because we still both wanted to be here after it! He also said that I seem to feel like I haven't got any control over the sitch we are in to which I agreed and he said I have because he wants to be with me so that gives me some control. Not entirely sure I agree with that one as I still cannot do anything on the one remaining problem but at the moment I feel very reassured by all the things he has said!!
I'm still trying really hard to be patient like you say but it is a daily battle with myself as I really am not patient with regards to this issue but at least I managed 6 days - a record for me!
