I don't want to say this too loudly... (knock wood) but I think I may be winning
H was at home last night when I finished at the practice range. He did not go to the bar! We had a nice evening together. I made a salad and we watched the baseball game.
When it came time for bed he began to get a little agitated. He brought up something that he thought I had done during the day that was "controlling" and that he was afraid that I would "go back to my old ways."
I thought of what you had said earlier in the day about him noticing that I had new behavior and I kept my PMA and simply said "if you would rather that I not do that, I won't."
This morning when he got up he asked if I wanted to join him in the hot tub for a mimosa! He was kidding about the mimosa since it's a work day, but I did join him and we talked about having them soon on a weekend.
Things do feel better!
Before work this morning he said that he had golf league tonight and asked what I would be doing. I said that I would be at home getting ready for the weekend, doing laundry etc. because I have appointments for Wednesday and Thursday nights. He said, well that's good that you won't be out "galivanting" around tonight. Guess he does care!
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
