I think it’s all very normal and expected what you have been feeling. We can still be progressing forward and doing well while still thinking about and have feelings about our Xs on occasion. How could we not? It’s the moving forward and not getting stuck in it that I think matters the most. I don’t see it as a backslide or setback (sorry B and DnJ :D), at least I think its only a setback if you get stuck here and stop putting your feelings, growth, and needs first. I am not under the impression from what you posted that you will be stuck in this specific interest in his actions for the perceived future. The fact that his behavior has been changing recently, to me is a trigger to open the door to deeper interest in what is happening in his life—it’s in understanding the context and all.
Enjoy your trip! I’m so jealous! I am hoping for a trip to Scotland next year!
