I've been reading up on Stuck's thread. Coach and Mrs. Coach (Greek) ahve been giving good advice. One of my bad habits was not looking my wife in the eye when speaking to her.
They ahd suggested that we need to initiate the eye contact, it shows we are confident with ourselves and shows we are focused on ourselves and that we have an interest in what the S has to say...I hope I got that right.
Anyway, this AM she came by the house. D8 recently got braces with top/bottom spacers. W used to work for an ortho and told me how the spacers work and how they are to be adjusted. The dental assistant showed me how to adjust the spacer. I emailed the W and I assumed she knew how to do this. Well on Wednesday, she called and asked if I was coming over (after I got out of work at midnight) to adjust D8's spacers. I asked her if she knew that it was going to be close to 1AM. She then said ok, I'll stop by in the AM. She never did, she dropped off the kdis and left. Last night, she asked me how to adjust the spacer, I walked her through it and she said ok, I'll just look it up on the internet. I said ok and hung up with her. Then this morning she comes in and asks me to show her how to do it. I was like, ok. FIguring she would ahve looked it up and remembered how to adjust the spacer from her previous job. I did both the top and bottom and that was it.
As she was walking out the door, I made it an effort to make eye contact. She was talking and I turned to look at her, she looked at me, then shoulders, then to the floor. She said have a good day, I walked her tot he door, said you do the same and she kept her eyes on the ground.
Going to try it again tomorrow. I do know that in the past few weeks, if I did make eye contact. That she would smile at me more.
