She told me this morning that part of her returning was due to her seeing that I could make it on my own, and knowing that she could as well.
She said every time she came over, she noticed that the condo was clean and dusted, the bed was made, the laundry was done and put away, there was fresh food in the fridge and wine in the rack.
She said she felt a different kind of respect for me...in the past she had done all that stuff, and she felt that I "hadn't stepped up". See? They notice every little thing, and it all means something.
By the way, things are still going really well. She is saying ILY all the time, I often catch her looking at me in "that way", and we are really feeling very calm and happy with having each other around again. We talk about the sitch somewhat, but don't beat it to death.
