Sounds to me like you have that DB thing down mate. I agree with you, though, sometimes you're too close to it to notice the little things, which are really the kind of things you wouldn't notice if all was well in your couple.

It's good that you went out to treat yourself. As you said you were waiting to be in a better frame of mind to get back to your hobby which means you feel like you're there now and I'm sure it shows in front of your W. It probably makes you more attractive or at least more fun to be around.

Glad things are going well mate!
