Would he do those things (call very day, leave the card, do the right things at home) if he wasn't really trying?
Calling-probably. He's a big "touching base" person. The card is different I think because it shows some forethought. I guess I don't really know other than that he feels that we have become closer "friends" in the past month or so. I would also agree with that. I feel like my "insides have calmed down" since I told him that I refuse to live in a three person marriage and that he needs to make a decision soon or I will make a decision. I feel stronger and happier just being me. In retrospect, he probably sees/feels that.

Yes! I do appreciate it and have told him how much I appreciate him making time for our family activities, helping around the house, etc.
