That sounds great T. Since I know you will be monitoring and adjusting as you go, I really don't think you can go wrong here. Like my W, yours does seem to be warming up.

My W appreciates and often thanks me for the things I do for her, so I continue to do them so as to show my love, and meet her needs. I figure this lessens the chance she'd look outside for this. The whole "Be the H only a fool would leave" thing.

It seems like it might be working for us. I'd say if they appreciate our AOS, we should do more. If they don't, do less, because then we look like pitiful doormats pursuing them.


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
