I’ve been able to talk a bit more with my MM and I feel more relaxed because of it. It’s kind of sad how much talking to him means to me. He is the bright spot in my life, moreso than my kid or my dog. He makes me feel wanted. He makes me feel appreciated— something my ex just has never been able to do.
I think also we may have hit a new milestone. Yesterday was the first time I know of that he was talking to me with his wife in the house. I am not 100% certain she was there, but at the end of our conversation he said he supposed he should go and that he could “only hide in the basement for so long”. To me this says she was there. He messaged me earlier in the day while he was out running errands. Maybe he’s realizing a few risks are needed.
It’s funny too. His new house had some weird features. He has sent me a few photos of things I know he associates with me. Like there is a toilet stuck in a very odd spot In the house; yesterday he sent me a picture of him on it! Lol. He also messaged me when a song he associates with me came on the radio. (It’s not a romantic song, however.)
Oddly, his pubic hair was grown out. He usually keeps it shaved. I’ve never seen him so fuzzy. That leads me to believe there is no bedroom action at all between him and his wife. Again, I don’t know for sure, but evidence says no.
Last week I think we also re-affirmed our status. I don’t want to say “re-affirmed our commitment” because really we don’t have a commitment to one another, although it feels like we do. But it’s obvious we want to stay in touch as much as we can. And we have both mentioned we do want to meet up again. I think if it weren’t for COVID we would have something planned already.
