DH, This wasn't a surprise visit. W actually asked if I could help out. So far we seem to be doing better. I found out she has an acts of service LL, and I'm doing well in that dept right now. Tonight she told me that I'm appreciated for all the hard work I've done for her and she made me a meal since I was using our last evening painting her old apt before I leave tomorrow afternoon. I've been using this time mainly to reconnect with the kids, but also available for whatever she needs done. I've been taking W to work and kids to school, then work on clearing the apt.
Oh, we've been sleeping in the same bed too. I offered to sleep on the couch, but she insisted that it was OK to share the bed. I stayed away from any intimate action though. I don't want to rush. She didn't make any advances with that. But we cuddled (spooned) some and no issues. I think we're on the road to recovery but I'm continuing to hold my feet to the fire and work on my behavior changes. I'm planning on returning sometime in June. I think it's important to keep this momentum. After all, it was lack of connection that brought us to this point.
