For a long time I've recognise that my W wanted me to make the first move and be the leader, and show her that there is a way forward, but I've held back just in case I mis read her cues. Now that the signs are extremely positive I think I can throw off the shackles a little bit and drive things forward.
She is starting to see the old me and is feeling happier and is also comfortable talking about us, which is good.
On the down side I'll have to scale back my online computer time, becuase W commented on the amount of time I spend on the computer. But for me DB will be a way of life. I don't ever want to go back to the bad old days.

PS: Assertive is a real word and you've used it in the right context.
