OK he actually responded, by IM though, and said "happy new year". For HIM, this is pretty big. Even pre-bomb he was likely to ignore my cards, emails and such around holidays, his birthday etc. So I feel here like he is truly making an effort.
He also just called me one of our NICE nicknames for the first time in MONTHS! He had been calling me nicknames for the past week or so, but they were sort of the insulting jokey ones. I just did a blushing emoticon in response...I want to really encourage his positive behavior, but not jump on it like a puppy dog! He needs to be kept guessing a little bit...
Trying not to read too much into this, but it sure is nice for the moment. It is just nice to have the kind of normal conversation that I used to have with my H, even if it lacks the ILYs. I sort of wouldn't be surprised to see one of those soon though, not getting my expectations up, but have just seen the clues in the things that he's been saying to me. OK I am going to try to do some actual work now. I'm surprised I still have a job here!
