Waiting...

EAP is due back to work mid week after sometime off after his Mother's death. We haven't spoken since last Monday since we go NC when not at work. I feel like his return will be a huge turning point for us. He will move to another bldg, start a new project. I am not sure if he will want this to continue. He as given me no indication that it will not, but I know that not seeing each other every day will change things. It was just so easy and convenient to carry on this EA while we were down the hall from one another. I would say we both made an equal amount of effort in different ways to keep things going. I emailed more, he came to visit me more. I have decided not to contact him since I was the last one to contact and he will be busy with his new project. So I will wait and hope for the best. I was worried after his vacation and bonding time with W things would be different and they were not. All was good. I am not sure how his Mother's death will affect him. My biggest fear is that his Mom's death and his new project will keep him focused on his family life and work and that will be the end of our EA. I know we'll still be friends, but since we don't see each other every day, it will be easy to just fall out of our habits of seeing each other. Thanks for reading!

Thanks Jane for your insightful reply :). It was actually his Mom, not his Mother-in-law that died, but yes I am sure it is tough for the whole family.He told me his daughter was taking it pretty hard, so this is a time they all need to be together as a family and support each other.
Hopefully "our: adjustment to his new project/bldg ends up as well as yours and your AP!
I'll be sure to update and yes,I am a very patient person, if it's worth waiting for! :)

I'll be waiting for updates too Jersey! We've got the couch and the chocolate after all... (Cyber chocolate is great... no calories...) :-)
