I've been rereading DR and got to the babysteps part. I had to sit down and think what those where.

W said she was proud of me.
She sent me pictures of herself when I asked (for an art project) instead of reacting with suspicion.
She called to check up when she couldn't answer an email.

Baby steps, I have to keep reminding myself, are steps. I'm working on being more loving, more open, giving and listening and hopefully this will produce some results.

I wanted to check with the others here and see what you all have seen as small steps toward either reconciliation or at least a better relationship.
