still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

[newmama]

My DB goals:

WH will touch me/ not pull away if we touch:

the second part has happened a lot in the last month actually.

WH asks me about my activities/whereabouts (I want him to be curious....)

Yesterday he has asked if I had plans for my birthday, then later asked why I would need a babysitter (during a separate conversation). A couple weeks ago he asked if I had set plans on Thursdays. He asks what S and I did during the day or will remember and follow up with questions. He hasn't asked me what I have done...ever? during our separation! So these few occasions that I listed are pretty good I guess.

WH suggests we cook something together Not yet; he has given unsolicited input on suggestions for ways to prepare something

but I have been excited about these actions that I see and want to make them goals! Can I? :

WH spending longer time at our house (arriving earlier or staying later than before):
This has happened a couple of times in the last week, but he has randomly stayed later in the past. Last night was an exceptional amount of time to stay late (30 minutes!)

WH texting me with more details, MORE info than just "How did S sleep?" "Sounds good- you might want to put some Vicks rub on his chest!" "You guys have a good night!"

He has texted a lot more in the last 4 days

WH making efforts to engage me in conversation

Yes, I have seen this in the last couple of weeks

WH increasing acts of service(his love language)

Yes I have seen this in the last couple of weeks
