That's a really good point about not needing to babble all the time. In fact, if I could keep my mouth shut and still appear cheery, that would probably get his notice. Maybe I'll pipe down. It's the calm, new me.
Today I spent some time working on what Nomopo suggested, thinking about what kind of partner I am (among other things). One of the things I realized is that I'm pretty anxious (for such an easy-going gal). It's something that has bothered DH about me for a long time. So that not chattering thing goes hand in hand with that. I just need to mellow out more, and I can start to show that.
I think as far as the GAL goes, he'll either think I'm moving on or it's an attempt to win him back, depending on his mood.
DH just came home from work---no contact today, zero---in a funk, it seems. He asked how I'm doing, and I said, "Great! You?" "Eh," he said sadly. I will not obsess, I will not question. In fact, I'd like to find a friendly way to stop asking altogether, but I don't think that's possible.
Take care, Sandi2. Glad to have found another chatterbox!
