Yes, Craig, it is amazing to see some small things coming forward, and that is the hope we all hold out for. I know yours is coming soon, just keep being patient. It sounds really good to me that she does feel more comfortable around you. The first time I noticed this, my H just started yakking and yakking about everything under the sun, and that is unusual for him. So I could tell he was feeling more comfortable. Then came the small touching he has been doing, albeit small, but it does make me giddy inside. \:\)

So, I am working from home today because my S has vet's day off from school. My H just texted me and said "How's the boy doin? Howz yous doin?" (the old line from Joey on Friends tv show, our inside joke). That little nicety surprised me nicely. \:\) So I let my S call him back from my phone, and then my H asked to talk to me...THAT was a small positive too. So I said "yessssssss?" in a silly way and then I asked how his day was going, and he sounded kind of down and tired. He spoke to me about a percentage discount we can get from his company on MY phone. Although he mentioned nothing about putting it in my name only...which he had before. I am grasping at all the small positives here, but it FEELS Good!!

Oh, and before I actually get out of bed everyday, I start off by praying to a Higher Power that today will be good and positive and that my H will eventually come out of this funk and see the light. That has seem to keep my spirits up and start everyday off on a positive. It is like a subconscious trick to set my mind in the right frame.
