That sounds excellent and I'm pleased you enjoyed your vacation. Maybe some would call them baby steps but I call accepting a back rub and getting called hon, breakthroughs. Especially getting called hon....woohoo.
You've been a model of patience with XW and now you are starting to see the benefits. If it were me, I wouldn't push too hard with the R talks, there just doesn't seem to be any value in them. Just keep on doing what is working and in your case, enjoy the success.
Guess you are probably fed up with being patient however, it seems to be your virtue. Keep it up. You've turned some significant corners lately.
