Anyway, W bought a new car this week. If we weren't seperated I would have had some problems with this, but as it turns out, I like the car she bought and she got a deal. On top of that, she is sure she can make the payments, so I am happy for her.
We met a Jason's Deli for dinner as a family and afterwards she wanted to take us for a ride so we went to my house to get tennis shoes for D ( it is unseasonably warm for Dec in NC ).
When she dropped me back off at Jason's to p/u my car, I was giving her a small neck massage. She didn't seem to mind. She said that she got a free carwash at Streetcars if she redeemed it in the next month. I told her she needed a real massage and I would give her one if she redeemed it in the next month. She smiled.
Then, I leaned over and gave her a hug, kissed her on the neck and said the never-to-be-spoken-words (I love you....) and she replied softly 'Thank you....'.
Though it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, I'll take it. She was clearly appreciative of my support in her decision, the massage and the hug/kiss combo.
After that I joked and said, ' Now I need to go give # 2 a kiss' referring to our D. in the backseat. This was a reference to her recently spoken fear that she thought I would never put her first in my life.
So it was a nice evening and I hope is a good intro into formally working on reconcilliation...
