Matilda and Jak, There are probably different ways to interpret why she was intent on my smiling during the dance practice. It is significant. She's wanting my attention and connection.
She keeps saying how much I've changed. She says that I'm calmer, more flexible, more open to new experiences, less stressed out, more fun to be with, easier to live with.
She patted me on the behind for the first time in probably two years.
We're planning our next trip to Puerto Rico for sometime this summer. I told her I'd be willing to go for ten days this time. We're working together to keep the trip around $2500 including hotels, airfare, and food. We spent almost half that much in hotel expenses on our last trip, by staying in a suite.
She has been putting more effort into her appearance including buying stylish clothing that is complimentary to her, and putting time into putting on make-up. She has lost weight since she's not eating out so much with her dance friend, and is down to 130lb.
She cuddles with me at night when she comes to bed.
I let her know about a Hustle formation team forming at our studio, even though it's not my favorite dance. She's been after me to learn the Hustle. I called our dance teacher and signed us up for this. It's a ten week commitment, in which we will learn a routine and perform it as part of a group at a studio dance in May. It took me several days of thinking to decide to partner with her on this, even though I have little experience with this dance, and would not choose this dance as my first choice.
