Thanks Julia!

Yes I need to remember that the actions matter more than the specific words, but also not push him into a corner where he feels compelled to say damaging things or make decisions.

Positives so far...

1) Joking around
2) Nickname use
3) Using "we" when talking about groceries
4) ML
5) Asking me to do errands for the house (I see this as togetherness rather than taking advantage of me)
6) Joked around about a mutual friend--hasn't brought up mutual friends since the bomb

Going to try and be in a really strong place by the time he gets home. Funny, I don't even need to spend much time with him, I just like the security of having our home together, crossing my fingers that he will see how well this can work...

ITH
