Today my sister came to visit and the two of us went to church. My W has little interest in going to church and we are of two different faiths. We very very seldom went to church since we met. I do believe in a God and I do pray often. My W seemed polite about me going but I could not read her as to how she really felt.
Several hours after I got back I asked my W if she would like to see a movie together. I found one that had just opened up in a theater that plays reruns. She said I suppose so. We went to see Australia. There were a few parts that I started to tear up in and at one time my chest was moving up and down and it took a lot of work not to be sobbing. I am not sure if she noticed but it should have been hard not to. On the way back to the car I asked her if she enjoyed the movie. She said yes. A little later she said there was some difficult parts. It was very silent on the way home. I have a had time talking about a movie I have just seen. I did ask her what she was thinking once and she said about the movie.
To my surprise when we got home she said "thank you". And shortly after thanked me for something else. I have not head those words from her very much in the last two years.
She did take her laptop with her to bed and said goodnight.
Baby steps I hope. She seems willing to spend time doing things together and I enjoy it so I we can continue to do so.
We went to another movie and she let me hold her hand. The next day we went to another one and she kept her hands away from mine.
On the way home she said she did not feel like it. Later at home she said she had enough of the hand holding.
She left several days ago to go work on her real estate purchase in another state. I have no idea when she will be back. She called me the first two days but not today.
