D9 and I spent some time in a bookstore this weekend (her idea not mine). I picked up the 5 love languages. Just got through the first language (words of affirmation). There is a lot more in there than I originally thought. Words of affirmation for alot of circumsatnces, including recovering from cheating and deciding to forgive etc. I think I will pass on the book to NGF so that we can learn to communicate better. We tend to purchase these books in moments of crisis. Since we are working on nine months of dating, the book may help us get closer. XW has been texting, calling and e-mailing more lately. All of it initiated by her. It somehow puts me in a funk or a mood (not a severe one) that I need to combat. I do combat it rather effortlessly....I must be almost cured.
