It is great that your W is choosing to open up to you. Sounds like she is still a mystery to herself, so understanding her is still going to be tough.
You know, we LBS's always say we wish we could get into the minds of the MLCer, but just like Mel Gibson in "What Woman Want" (I think that was the name), it could turn out to be a curse instead of a blessing.
I think it is great that she is acknowledging things that you do and thanking you. I speak from experience... Sometimes women get overwhelmed with feeling that they have to do everything, and then get resentful if they have to ask their H to help. Any little thing you can do for your family that helps with the everyday flow of things is actually a big deal in a wife's world. It shows you care AND appreciate all that she does.
And IMO, this is a great start to getting on the road to "those feelings".
I can relate with the whole going through the motions thing. I am done with having a roommate. I want my H to find his way, and to have all the time that he needs to do so. I just don't want to be a daily observer of the MLC train wreck of a life he is creating for himself. Oh, and I don't want him blowing all our money either!
Keep on keepin' on T. I know you like the Foo Fighters, and as they would say, "It's times like these we learn to love again. It's times like these we learn to live again."
And we are.
Keep up the great work!
And PS... Obi Wan is fine... Just don't start to look like Yoda
