well the family trip went ok. We shared some laughs, no arguments or R talk. I actually touched her arm twice on the car ride and there was no pulling back and I gave her a kiss on the cheek when I left. She did not lean in, but she did not pull away -- just stood still.
All-in-all it was positive, which is almost more difficult than the negative times. I'm just not sure what it means, if anything at all. I kind of feel like we are almost friends, but she had been so adamant before about not spending any family time so we wouldn't confuse the kids that we are a happy family.
