My Journey Begins...New here

[thba]

Well, been a few days since I posted...(it don't take long to move down the list!!!)

Things have been going well. Had a trust item come up that bothered me a great deal but was able to talk to her about it in a caring manner and we talked it through with no conflict. That was a very nice change I must admit.

Over the past weekend, we brought more of her stuff over and are slowly but surely getting her apartment cleaned out. Probably will have it mostly complete by the end of this coming weekend. She has been the one wanting to get things cleaned up over there so I take it as a good sign as to where her head is at in regards to us being back together and developing a new start. She has had me hanging stuff on the walls and making plans to redo certain areas of the house. It's been fun watching her get excited in her way about this.

I have been working my butt off being the best husband I can be. I have been starting dinner each night. Helping with the kids homework and bedtime routines. Doing dishes after dinner. I am enjoying doing these things as I know they make her happy.

We have been more intimate with each other lately. Little hugs and kisses here and there. Last night she asked for a back rub and I excitedly obliged. In the past I didn't enjoy doing this but just to have my hands on her was more than enough motivation for me. Then, at bedtime, I was laying there looking at her. I guess I finally couldn't take being in the same bed as her and not being intimate any longer. Began kissing her and that led to s e x. First time in a year and a half!!! It was exactly the same and absolutely wonderful. Not sure what her feeling about it was afterward, but I may bring it up with her this evening.

This morning, when I was leaving, I gave her a kiss and told her ILY. It just kind of slipped out and she seemed to be caught off gaurd. Hope she doesn't crawl back in the hole a bit because of that.

Overall, great progress being made.....
