I am feeling pretty happy about what happened today. But I am afraid that I am over reacting to the situation. I have been involved with my MM for a little over a year. He has always talked about leaving. However he said that he needs time. I have of course been up and down the roller coaster with this relationship. I tend to be a very doubtful person. It is weakness of mine that I always think the worse. Anyways, he has a son by a previous relationship. Today he contacted me to let me know that we could run into each other pretending to be old friends. He said that way I could meet his son. I am thinking this is a major step for him in this relationship. But I am afraid I am overplaying the importance. When we were together this past week, he made the comment that any other man would have already left. That he thinks constantly about how much better things would be with me. She is not a bad person. In fact he rarely saids anything overly negative. Just that they rushed into the marriage (only knew each other 3 months), and that he is not happy with her. They have been married for just over two years, we have been seeing each other for a year and 4 months. I want to think that this is a step in the right direction. I love him and I am afraid my thinking is too colored with that emotion. I just wanted an objective opinion.

I think it is a big step that he is giving you an opportunity to meet his son.

His son is 13. So I think he will remember me. The meeting went well. It was brief, but it was so nice to be able to meet and briefly talk with his son. I know his son is the most important thing in his life. Thank you for giving me your perspective.

Let things be what they are at the time, dont over analyze anything in an EMA, it's never in your best interest.
