I have read 5LL. Her primary is QT. Secondary are tied with words and touch.

I will leave the candle and bubble bath ready so she can relax while I take the kids out for ice cream. I will let her know I want her to relax as I get the kids away so she can rest. I know she will appreciate this.

Outside of the business we would argue about business related things. Besides this, we would love to do everything together. Weekends will be usual trips to nearby towns, shopping and just hanging out. Saturday night watching SNL and we would watch TV together almost every night. Date nights maybe once a month but we were almost like caught in a routine. You can see for my responses there were other issues I know I pressed on which I have owned up to. But overall, we never had chronic issues. As we drew apart, I noticed she started to communicate less with me and be less happy (mood). I had asked one time if there is something I could do and she said she wasn't sure. This was 6 months before the bomb. I now regret now seeking counseling then. It would have helped us both. I tried to do different approaches to things we were doing but I wasn't sure what to do back then.

About her demeanor, yes! She has dramatically changed towards me. Before I couldn't even call her. Now she accepts my calls. Now that I am respecting her boundaries, she is opening up more. We just talk about kid related items though. And I notice she makes attempts to not look at me when she comes in or when she talks.

We pray with the kids every night and I lead the prayer.
Also, in the AM, I get ready next to her in the same bathroom.
