Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

Cutter, my WH did used to say that just being with me was what made him happy. He didn't call 2x per day though...we always only called each other before heading home from work. Our schedules were not in sync with me teaching all day and he had various meetings or being at his desk.

He is also BIG on affirmation, perhaps b/c he is less secure than you are? I love affirmation so I am insecure, too!

Liked doing small thoughtful things for her. Little things. Like remove the snow from the car for her. Buy her a book on quotes of her fav. sport. make her cd's of music. She thought I was very set in my ways.

THIS sounds JUST LIKE WH!! He was/is sooo thoughtful. I am a big picture person, so if I know he likes cigars or pinot noir for example, I would get him some of those things. But I would not notice the year and vineyard of the pinot noir he liked or the style of cigar (he indulges like 4xa year but still collects them!) He was detail person.

So, I am trying to be aware of those things. I am giving him a photo of S inside a picture frame that says I love my Daddy that he can put on his desk. I think this may count as a thoughtful gesture. I made sure he had fresh towels in the bathroom for S's bath instead of making him go to get them from the cupboard. He loves Mtn. Dew for a caffeine pick me up so I made sure it is stocked in the fridge. Are these things on the right track?

I used to show love to him with affection, admiration, and conversation.
