Well, I took a leap of faith, and went with my wife to my sons swimming lessons. We were able to talk during his lessons. Small talk and talk about the kids, but it was good.

I made the effort to talk first, and then she talked too when things got silent. Also I made sure to look into her eyes when I was talking and when she was talking. It was pleasant.

I haven't truly looked into her eyes when we are talking since we were dating, it occurred to me today that, that large part of our communication was missing. I dont know why I havent looked into her eyes more when we talk, i suppose it made me feel uncomfortable because my eye might wander which it does sometimes, but, no matter. I definitely feel like we were starting to connect again on a very basic level. Nice gentle soft talk.

The best thing was her stupid blackberry didn't interrupt us even once. I'll count this as a baby step for now.

Now I just have to figure how we can make conversation a priority.
