Piecing is almost harder than before #2...

Harrier,

Point well taken about not having the whole conversation there. : ) and yeah...sometimes it baffles me too.

here is what jumped out at me:

I think I sad something like "I'm glad." and she said kinda firmly but joking. 'What? you aren't optimistic?"

To me it seemed like she wanted...more from you, she mentioned it in the car and then later in bed. Sort of like a kid trying to hint at getting something they want. It seemed like she was leading you to a verbal affirmation.

Signs, prior to 2010 you were (paraphasing your own words) Awesome!

But 2010 was a bad year for you, bad enough that it affect your marriage.

The signs of change you showed in 2010, is what I mean.
