Thx 25. That was a very insightful post. Actually since EE I feel like I have been less selfish and try to understand my W and what she might be feeling in the moment. I guess have thicker skin. For me my W doesn't use the words "I love you" and/or "I'm sorry" She has admitted to me in the past that she has trouble saying these words. They were never given to her growing up and she has trouble with it. But she does other subtle things that I've started to pick up on. It might be something as simple as buying me a new shirt without me asking. Or baking me something etc..

So as you said she speaks in a foreign LL and I've recognized this as of late. Plus when she does occassionally speak in mine it is all that better.

Things are still good at the home front. Have the EE support via email and phone is very nice. Plus supporting others is terrific too.
