hey saffie
I had the urge to take one before the dinner BUT I HAVE NONE. So the urge passed. I am going to find out where the cousin’s relatives live over there. She did mention going to the coast sometimes. Also she said "it's hard for her to understand people's accent from the south" Her relatives I think live in the "north" what ever that means.
I hope things are looking good I know SOMEBODY is going to yell at me for saying this because they will say I NEED TO DETACH. But I just hope this progress is for real and not a charade she may be putting on.
I am detaching until July 14th our anniversary. I am going with my D to buy a nice watch something with a blue face (her other favorite color). And the Friday before our A I am going to send flowers to her work (yes Delia fragrant ones).
And we will see what happens. I am NOT expecting anything good or bad.

AS for my tattoo, I am taking my other daughter with me to help me decide. I was thinking about something like a heart with a vine wrapped around it with 2007 under it.
To everyone else I’ll tell them that was the year I got it. To me it will be the year my heart was broke.

Did you see my pics ?

Heh,Husband, what about detaching and a PMA????? A tattoo with a negative reminder is NOT showing a PMA, IMHO.

I'm glad your date went so well. Just try to remember to take it slow & easy! Easier said than done, but patience is the key. We can't force anything. Just keep loving her and showing that you aren't giving up, but in a 'detached' way. Let her come back to you -- let her realize that she doesn't want to lose you. Be the H she would never want to lose!

This might be a stupid question but he it goes. Washing her car. I Always wash her car. Should I stop this. Would this be detaching?

Just a question

If you always do it, I don't see anything wrong w/ it, although you may just want to ask her "hey, do you want me to wash your car today?" That's my opinion. She's still living in the house, right? Sleeping in another room or something?

Ok, my H only 'left' a couple of times. Once for a few days and then once for a weekend, but other than that, he was always in the house w/ the boys & I during the D sitch. It's hard, I think sometimes a separation makes them see what they're missing, but on the other hand, it may allow them to see that they do want to be out on their own, so I don't have a real firm opinion on that one way or the other.

I just kind of went about my business. I know how much it sucks coming home every day after working & never knowing really what to expect from the other person.

Yeah, I would just casually ask her if she wants you to wash her car. Not make a big deal out of it. Or you could just go out & do it and not say anything. If you always do it anyway, there's no reason not to anymore, right?

Husband,

Washing my W's car is one of the things that I am still doing for my W. I think this is one of the ways that I can show that I care for her without showing that I care for her. I do not ask if it is alright, I just make sure that she is going to be home for a little while and then I wash her car and mine. I think washing her car is a fairly safe thing for you to do - go for it.

Not mention it? Why? When are you going to give her the watch?

By the way, that was some castle you and your son built!!!!!!!
