Working on a friendship

[Belle]

Just wanted to say I'm pretty happy tonight b/c my husband called me by my pet name that he used when we were first dating. My name is Lisa and he called me Lisey!

I know it is such a small thing but it felt good - he said it when he was saying good bye. He hasn't said it for years and it's been kind of akward because once he told me he was leaving me he started calling me Lisa instead of "babe" like he normally did. Does anyone else have that experience where it just sounds so funny for your spouse to call you by your name???

Well anyway, it's a small thing, but that's what this is about - baby steps!!
