Interesting finish to the evening so I thought I would mention it. W was cranky to start the day. Came home for 30 mins, printed some stuff and went out for an evening appt. I told her I wouldn't be here to make dinner and explained that I had a fantasy football draft I was going to.
Once W got home, she called me and I answered. She just wanted to know when I'd be home and at the end of the conversation she says "I love you" and I responded with the same. After I hung up, I was in a bit of shock. I don't think she's told me ILU in 6 months, and probably only a couple of times in the last 18 months honestly. As I thought about it, I figured she was probably worried I was with someone else and was testing me, but I really don't care what the driving force was. That's a huge step.
After about an hour, she started texting me repeatedly, asking if I'd get her some food on the way home, saying he wanted me home, and being playful about it. I stayed a little longer than I had planned because some buddies showed up, but I did get her some food and the evening ended pretty well
