Thanks for the encouragement. The phone calls are my only way to show my wife that I have made changes. With 900 miles separating us and only a visit every 3 months or so, I kept up with the weekly calls, since my WAW asked for it specifically.
I have to admit I noticed a big softening in my wife's tone of voice. It started very angry, to semi-angry to friendly, almost as if I was just on a business trip and we are just checking on each other. So the phone calls are positive overall. But I was wondering if I was just doing more of the same for the past 7 months. Anyway, your advice is very wise.
THANKS Pollyanna and Ready2Change...I hope this finds you well.
