Yes ,on Friday I took the children to Warwick castle in,I'm in the UK hence the name ha !! I dreaded it as I should of been preparing for a holiday with my exdso....however we had a,lovely day ,I will confess that I was in contact with him during the day as this last week he has made a bit more effort. I'm also quite honest with him ..i told him I wished he was coming with us as he would love it ,I asked if I could send pics ...he said yes to that,and maybe about coming but he was struggling with going out ..anyway maybe my contact is wrong,maybe my telling him I wished he was coming too ...but wrong to whom??? I've read lots of stories and there is no real set of rules to the ones who make it or don't ....im lucky in a way he doesn't blame me ...as of yet ..he only told me once to leave him alone and the next day apologised,today I was really cheeky and asked if I could go to the doctors with him...thinking id get a no,no response .it was a no really but worded well ,he prefers to go alone ...not a we are not together why would you come to the doctor ....sigh its confusing to the say least ,which is why I've decided to be quiet for a few days ...since wed till sat ..and a bit today is the most consecutive contact I've had in a few weeks maybe longer ...and a small effort to converse about my life ...but I'm a bit frustrated with him. And short of me turning up which I may decide to do ,think ill try and leave him be ..follow your instincts ...
