Journalling,

I was locked out of the house b/c my wife had my key. She and D12 were having dinner with my MIL. I swung buy the restaurant to get the key. I started chatting with my MIL and decided to order something for dinner. D12 was happy I was there. My W wasn't too talkative but seemed alright with me being there. I enjoy the conversations I have with my MIL and tried to include my W in our talks. My MIL doesn't drive at night so I knew she would be leaving soon. After my MIL left it's just me D12 and my W.

My dinner hasn't arrived yet and my W is sitting there looking very tired. We talk for a little bit more and I told her she didn't need to stay. My W decides to stay around until my dinner arrives. While I'm eating I if she was going to see my councelor tomorrow. He wants to see where she stands in our M. She said she would go so I thanked her.

My W decides it's time to leave. I'm eating dinner and she's just standing there. Then she leans over and gives me a hug and a kiss. Folks this is the first time in a very long time she's kissed me in public. I was in shock!

So here are the two positives in my stich. One she's going to see my councelor and two, she kissed me in public.

Baby steps...baby steps.
