It's been a week since the V-Day card thing and me really backing off and stopping all pressure. And man, I can REALLY feel a good vibe in the relationship. It's sorta weird for me to say that because I'm a pretty concrete, fact-based guy and this is just a feeling. Nothing tangible, nothing that I can put on a chart or graph and say "see it's 2.3% better than yesterday", but it just feel that way. Really good interactions with W. I feel like we are "just being". I'm still (over) analyzing everything, but that's just me and I keep it to myself.
Last night W after work, I picked up the kids and we met wife out for dinner. I swear it felt like she was leaning in to kiss me hello and then backed off. Maybe my mind, maybe not. She didn't kiss me, but I think she almost did. I didn't react at all. Old me (like a week ago) would have leaned towards her, then she would have kissed my cheek, but I think only to be polite. She want's this, she can come get it. I know she can't hold out much longer. And I'm here to tell you, the gettin' will be good when she does.
Anniversary in 2 weeks. Got to not F that up.
