WAW still around, DBing starting to work

[gutwrenching]

Dare I say there has been continuous progress since what might have been just a pullback after last trip?

The talk about the future and where we go from here has never happened. I have not brought it up again and neither was W after bringing it up two evenings in a row about a week ago.

Communication still friendly, still quite a bit of it, and still no R or M talk though. Also we have had no discussions on where we live after moving this summer...the rhetoric has all been "we, us, our next place" but no substantial talks on even which areas we would look to live.

Affection is at all time highs since bomb. Hugs, affectionate touches/pats/etc becoming frequent...heck to be honest, more of that now than even before the bomb before there were issues. W not resisting. W has even initiated affectionate touching a couple of times now. But still just the one kiss, that goodby kiss from about 2 weeks ago.

Another interesting discussion was about us buying a new TV. I was leery to spend this kind of money, make a big purchase, with the unknown of the future. But I never voiced that as my reason. As we discuss more and more, W seems to think we should do it, and then rationalizes by saying let’s just call it our anniversary gift. My jaw hit the floor. We have always gotten something together, something significant for our anniversary…but our anniversary is about 2 months away! But we just bought our anniversay gift!

We are both busy. Her stress level is a bit high, but despite all that, we seem to be doing better together.
The roller coaster continues
