I don't actually remember the last time I got an ILY from him, before all this crap happened. He said he said it first all the time, and I never aid it first. He was most likely right, because I didn't even feel loved by him, for a long time. Now, I say it all the time, and he rarely says it, but now has said it three or four times since last year. And when I say ILY, he either says ILY, too, or love you, too, which is the way I used to say it.
I, too have been busy with inlaws this week. FIL is in the hospital. He had bypass surgery, so I have been taken up with that. In the past, he has said I didn't care enough to visit his family, which I believe is symptomatic of MLC. So, this time, I have made it obvious I DO CARE. Taking dinner and breakfast to MIL, taking son to visit, and visiting myself every day. I love his family, and want him to see that. They have been more of a stable family to me, than my own.
I have to get off now, because he should be home in a few minutes, the football game should be over.
