I have been reading a lot of the success posts and article by Michele. The most recent While Your Spouse Decides. I drives me crazy that she doesn't give you the outcome of the sitch. Does it mean it wasn't good? Curious.

If we're talking about the guy who decided to be his wife's best friend, no matter what, I'm pretty sure it worked out for him. Wasn't that clear?

Yes, that is the one. It really isn't that clear. It doesn't say we are together. I hope they are!

It's Fathers Day. I struggled to call or not. I wanted to talk to the kids to say good morning. H didn't answer which I was glad. I LM that I wanted to talk to the kids. I was supprised when H called back instead of the kids. I said HFD and we chatted a bit, then he handed the phone over. I feel this is progress. H really is much more receptive to talk &/or initiate a call when the seas are calm. I have not meantioned the OW which has been a problem for me. I'm sure he noticed that. Usually the conversations are generic or about him. H never asks about me. I think because H doesn't want me to ask him?? Whatever it is I have to keep on the path. It is still hard for me to not think, feel, whatever when H is so nice.
H and kids were going out to breakfast for FD. I wished so bad that H would have invited me so I could say how nice that was but I'm sorry I have plans..didn't happen but that's okay. I'm just happy with what's going on now. Babysteps!

Yesterday H droped off the kids and said "whats going on"? Tha was big it's usually "hey". H also brushed a piece of hair off my face. I know that doesn't seem like anything, but I could have had mud all over my face and H wouldn't have noticed or cared. Talked a little then H left. It has really been nice I m trying to keep it this way and see what happens. Baby Steps is my motto from now on!

Duct Tape!! Just being nice. I get so caught up in being angry that I just get in a rut of being a b**ch. I know he responds very well to kindness. I just would rather fight I guess. I was hurt and wnated him too. You know the drill..H HATES conflict. I guess I was doing that to hurt like he hurt me?? I'm past that now and just want to be nice even though there is the OW. I WILL be kind and H friend if it kills me. H said that one of the reasons he left he wanted a W that was his best friend. Maybe I can be the EW that is his BF and then??

If nothing else get along for the kids.

Another thing I noticed today. H works with my neighbor and for a while now has been hiding his truck behind the shop. Because it got ugly with us. He used to park it up front before all that. I noticed today he parked it up front?? Softening?? Feeling more comfortable?? I don't know. I can't read too much into it. I'm just happy to get along right now. I need to make sure I take it slow and not to push, patience is not my friend :).
