Here's a list I've posted on my thread on separated - I found it quite useful to make myself focus on the positive responses/reactions I'm getting, rather than the negatives of the situation...
It's too easy to get bogged down in the mire, and after all, "what we focus on expands"
* V. day card and roses * Took me to his parents' house as a change of scenery * Called me twice when working in States recently * Always tells me he loves me "lots and lots and lots" * Says he can't imagine ever being with anyone else * Says he can see us getting married some day * Stays in my bed and cuddles * Says he thinks I'm v. talented * He's concerned about my welfare when I go away to London * Tells me I'm gorgeous * Says I've got a better bum than Kylie LOL * Told me he'd take me to Italy if I want to go * He's "not ruling out" the idea of having children (!!) V. much ruling this out before... * Says he wants me to go away with him to work 100% * When I was sick on holiday and went into the other room, he followed me and sat with me until I felt well enough to go back to bed (although I was suspicious after that - what didn't he want me to check on his mobile phone, which he had no need to bring?...) * Says he loves to hear me singing - makes him realise how much he loves me * He's agreed to write with me * When he was last here, he came to my house to let me know he had to go back to work early, instead of just going and leaving me wondering * He brought the aftershave I bought him for christmas with him, and sneaked upstairs to put it on. When I commented that it smelt nice, he said he was trying to do the right thing * He brought a video and popcorn and cakes just because "they looked funny" and he wanted to make me happy * He promised to ring me when he got through with work that weekend, and he did, then called again midweek * Always says I smell nice when he hugs me
I hope to be able to add to this list....!
