14th Thread to Somewhere Uncertainly

[reachingHigher]

So tonight W and I went to S3 school's open house, together!! That is one of the small changes with her the past couple months, she isn't trying to control/exclude me from that involvement with the kids. And, she complimented me, that the color of my shirt looked really good on me...haven't heard anything like that in ages! The vibe between us was so different, more relaxed and positive, than the last time we did a school function together this spring.

Small things...but good.

I don't think this is so small. I think she isn't as "afraid" of you...for whatever reason. For her to compliment you, be with you in public in a family-type situation is very, very positive.

Maybe she thought about that 10% BF and the muscles you're sporting lately! Maybe....

Another thought, after reading NLT's post. I think my H thought this whole MLC thing was my fault for a very long time, so why should he apologize for getting away from something that he felt was holding him back? Then...when he wanted to come back...it was a disconnect from those feelings.

Kinda like...I have often wondered how "they" can come back home after they said all those mean and hurtful things. There is a big drop in consciousness during replay and some will remember and some won't, I guess.

Or in my H's case, it isn't a time period he forgets, it is certain kinds of incidents he remembers with stunning clarity and others he has no recollection of.

I like the "keep expectations low and PMA high", from NLT. But I hear you oozing lots and lots of PMA!

Loved AJ's post too!
