I've stopped trying to figure things out. I've obviously stopped looking at things that some here would have labelled in the past as 'babysteps'. Some oddities:
as mentioned above, my W has cleaned off her dresser top and rearranged our wedding photos in PERFECT condition; reframed some small loose ones
if I get to the MBR first to sleep on the bed, she will still get into it with me in it...but..maintains her distance
Yesterday: Me: My sister (who lives around the corner) asked us to have dinner over her house tonite at 6 W: Oh..I was going to take them to my mother's house for dinner. Me: Well...why don't you take D4 and I'll take S7 with me. He'd love to play with the boys (my nephews)
Later...
W: So..when your sister asked 'us' over for dinner, I don't suppose that included me. Me: Always did; but....would your father and mother invite ME over for dinner right now?
No response (none was expected).
