I am so freakin jealous! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your list of things you did. I wish I could walk through the forest and smell pine trees.
About Thanksgiving, keep your conversation light. No heavy talk. Remember to avoid some of the things you may do that are not appropriate in social settings. (For me, I try to be the know-it-all. I annoy myself now that I'm aware of it! LOL!)
If W LL is physical touch, brush your hand against her back when you pass her. Maybe on her waist and ask her if she's slimming down?. If W LL is affirmation, compliment her how well she looks. When she talks, say "that's a good point" or "yeah, you're so right about that" If W LL is Gifts, give her a small inexpensive thinking of you gift. (ex. her fav. candy ;-) If W LL is acts of service, roll up your sleeves and help out in the kitchen. I WOULD LOVE IT IF H DID THAT AT A GATHERING! BIG TURN ON FOR ME!! If W LL is quality time, enjoy your time with your friends but don't stray from her. That's my LL and I hate it when H spends more time at a party with others than with me!
That's my miss know-it-all advice! LOL!
These are all great things when you're in the PIECING stage, but we have NO IDEA where 2TP's wife's head (and heart) is at right now. She may still be foggy and wayward.
2TP, I'm not a big fan of R convos, but if you must I would simply ask her "So what is your thinking regarding the marriage these days? I'm sure we've both had a long time to do some thinking and to make some decisions. I'd be interested to hear what you think."
