The Talking Cure

After a fairly uncomfortable month, following the attempt at going to the movies and a series of long emails back and forth, the ex and I finally sat down yesterday to try to clear the air of some of the issues that are still preventing us from moving forward with being friends. They were mostly issues on my part although he did open up somewhat as well which was nice. It was quite a long talk and although nothing really ground breaking was said, it did help to clear the air. I felt really good after he left last night after our almost 3 hours of talking. I'm feeling a bit more ambivalent this morning, but I think--I hope--that this finally is going to let me move forward. I don't think I'm still quite ready to start seeing him all the time, hanging out completely as friends, but I do feel better about things this morning than I have for the past month or so.

It's a process, like everything else.
