I managed to do that. I was pretty quiet in the car and H may have sense I was in a "mood." We had a reception to attend after church. Ds wanted to go so we went for a little bit. H was talking to friends while Ds and I were in line for snacks. I picked up a couple of things that I thought H would like. Took them to him and said I thought these looked like something you would like. Without any hesitation H took them and seemed to enjoy them. He actually went over and got some more then came where I was and we talked and joked w/ a friend. Looking back I'm surprised at how happy he seemed.
On the way home H asked about what I wanted to do for dinner. I said I thought he had plans as he had said something earlier in the day about taking Ds to dinner. H said he hadn't decided anything because he thought D15 was going to do something w/ a friend. I said I only had one thing I could make or we could get something. H said something about going out for dinner and I said something about me being invited. H asked where I wanted to go and we let D10 decide. She was in a really good mood at the restuarant. I'm sure she enjoys spending the time as a family. I hope this means that somewhere down the road H plans on working on the R. Otherwise we are just further screwing up the Ds.
After we got home I was in the bedroom when H came in. We started talking and he sat down by the bed to talk. I thought this was a big positive. Then we ended up downstairs sitting and talking some more. No talk of the R of course, but I thought it was positive that we were actually communicating so much.
