Wife texted last night while she was out to let me know she was on her way home and hoped I would still be up. Didn't respond to the text but it just so happened that I was still awake, watching TV on the couch, and W was happy to see that I was still up when she got home. Hung out for an hour or so, talking (NOT relationship talk) and listening to music. Noticed a little pull-back when we went to bed though... didn't get the usual close contact. And she was definitely more withdrawn this morning. Maybe it's the elastic/rubber band effect I've read about here. At any rate, once I noticed her demeanor I backed off and left her alone. Still got a hug for her when she left for a lunch date with her friend (an extremely non-marriage-positive friend, I might add), and quietly noticed she had her wedding ring on--she takes it off every night because her fingers swell while she sleeps, which means she had to make a point of putting it on before she left today. So... might not mean anything, but I'll take whatever small victories I can get.
