There hasn’t been too much going on in my relationship, but there are a couple small updates to write about, anyway!
The first is that we have adjusted pretty well to the long distance thing – it helps that he still comes into town for 5 days at a time every month for work, and I fly to him at least once a month as well for a weekend together.
Secondly, two nights ago without any prompting or questioning from me he tells me that he is talking to the ex-wife about setting up time to meet when I visit him next (first weekend of April). It was such a relief to hear, and especially because I didn’t have to bring it up first like I usually do. So I’m glad he’s thinking about and being proactive about it. It just feels like one more step to meeting his daughter, and even if I don’t meet his daughter that weekend just knowing that the next time I visit will possibly be a time for that to happen makes me happy. (And even if not, then it really is totally up to him once he’s introduced his ex-wife to me, and just having that out of the way will feel good.)
Lastly, last night at dinner he was face timing his daughter with headphones on (we were out at a restaurant), and when he was done he said, “She says hi.” This immediately won me over but I didn’t hear him say my name at all, so I asked, “how did she even know I was with you?” And he said she asked him and he said yes, then he laughed and said how his ex-wife probably isn’t too happy about that! But either way, I love that she is trying to make a connection with me – so sweet, and it just makes me so happy.
So, that’s all for me for now. Hopefully I’ll have more updates soon!
