Worried I found DB too late

[cw68]

I'm new to this DB thing, but from what I understand, that's what it's all about. A few steps forward, some back, etc. The key is to find the root of the pattern, what causes the steps back and do less of those and more of the ones that make the steps go forward. I know what you mean, though. My husband and I get along.

Yesterday was interesting, to say the least. We saw each other in the AM, spoke a few times yesterday and I went into work to cover for someone who called me earlier in the day looking for a sub. (I work the front desk at our health club a few hours a week.) My H didn't know I'd be there and was surprised when he walked in. He chatted with me a few minutes, went and changed, came back up and chatted with me again, even noticed that I got my hair done today, and walked to the exercise room. I turned to get some towels and when I turned back around, I saw him walking into the exercise room while staring at me. My co-worker said that he was staring at me the whole time he was walking and my back was turned. When he was finished, he got the kids from childcare and they waited in the lounge for ten minutes while I finished my shift.

When it came time to say goodbye, my D started crying, saying she wanted Daddy to come home with us and not to the apartment. She wasn't hysterical, like she has been, but wouldn't stop, wouldn't look at him nor say goodbye to him. My husband looked crushed. I carried her out as she, my S and I left. She didn't calm down for close to an hour. While the kids were brushing their teeth, my H called on his way home from the gym to say goodnight, but I told him I didn't think it was a good idea because our D had just settled down.

About a half-hour later, he called again. He had just gotten home and opened the valentine's gifts from me. We laughed a little, he said good job on the gifts and the card then invited me to stay for dinner tonight, if I didn't have plans. God, I wish I would have had plans, but didn't so I said I'd enjoy that. He also wants to talk about the weekend plans. I do have plans for the weekend, in fact, I'm headed to the coast to visit a dear friend for some long beach walks and girl soulful time. Ahh. Can't wait. I'm purposefully going to be evasive about my weekend plans.
