We can work it out (part 3)

[Starshyne]

Haha Forrest. I have said for years that my husband isn't a "typical man" and now someone else says it. It goes way past him not liking sports, doesn't it? My IC said the exact same thing Tuesday night about him wanting me to stand up to him. That seems to work in some strange way, so I am keeping at it. It is totally out of my comfort level, but what isn't?

Things are still going alright. I mean alright in this situation. H is actually doing things around the house wihtout being asked: mowed the lawn, fixed the door, helped with dishes, did laundry, etc. He is leaving me notes telling me where he is and last night he made sure that I knew that he had a busy day today and wouldn't be home until at least 7pm if not later. He also seems to be happier. Humming around the house, laughing at things that typically make him laugh and starting conversations with me. I find myself actually enjoying my time with him.

I also noticed somethign yesterday that might not be anything, but you know how we cling onto small signs? We went to church last night. Before he was sitting miles away from me in the pew. Seriously you could fit 2-3 other people between us. He would scoot down and put his Bible, a hymnal, a jacket...whatever between us. Last night he sat next to me. Not touching me or anything, but he sat next to me like you would someone that you went to church with. I know it isn't a big deal, but I did notice it.

As for me, I am still detatching. Reading books, working on the computer, practicing the guitar. I am not getting my hopes up with this change in behavior. I am just enjoying it because I realize that it might go back to the way it was the past few week without notice.
