I noticed that you posted some very nice positives over on your thread. I'm happy to hear that you are feeling a little more optimist. I'm sure your nerves are appreciative, too.

Yes!
For a long time prior too the "bomb", there were numerous aspects of our M that were sick.
For instance, I used to spend WAY too much time talking to the side of my H's head. Whereas now, he makes a point of looking me directly in the face and listens with apparent interest and even interacts with questions and comments. He'll go so far as to put the TV on pause if I start to speak and no longer has that look of impatience on his face that says, "Are you done yet?"
He doesn't "react" nearly as much, he shares more, laughs more and seems more present than before.
It appears that he's learning how to DB in return. Very
