Hi Mr. B. We are talking just not about R stuff or the past. We've gone out to eat a few times. We went out for Vday. I was able to share some stories from my EE experience. One story in particular almost made her cry. I'm in the process of flipping a house and got her permission first and have included her on this. (in the past I would have just flipped it) So it is tricky. We haven't sat down per say and hashed anything out. My wife is definitely 200% actions are stronger then words type of person.

I do have a very strong support system from my EE experience. Which I tend to reach out to more then DB.

The wife and I are doing a boating club/membership this summer and that will hopefully strengthen our R and our communication.

She has opened up to me about a few things (her health and sanity in particular)

She has taken the love language quiz and knows my LL and I know hers.

So I really don't want to say there hasn't been any communication. It just hasn't been directly about the past. Her actions and words have shown me things.

Would I like her to say to me I am committed to this M and will doing anything it takes. Sure. Has she. Nah.

She did bake for me and bought me a card for Vday. That is a nice change. Haven't got a card from her in over a year.

When the timing is right I will voice things kindly and gently

Thx for checking in B. I hope all is well for you and your family
