Continuing to see some positive signs; must continue to remind myself not to take them for more than they're worth...
W came home from work and snuggled up with me on the couch, gave me a kiss on the lips when she got up to fix something to eat, and then asked if I wanted to hang out with her by the firepit when it got dark out. Had a really good time doing that with her, and she remarked several times what a wonderful evening she was having. In-laws stopped by for a bit so we had a nice visit with them, and a little later one of W's friends who lives across the street came over and hung out. This made W extremely happy and gave me a 180 opportunity because I'v ways been a bit stand-offish with the neighbors but this time I was very welcoming and we ended up having a great time.
I think it's worth noting that W mentioned to me that one of her friends told her that despite "everything that's going on" I seem happier recently than I have in a long time. FIL also pulled me aside at one point and said that he and MIL have been quietly watching what's going on and that they're extremely proud of how I'm handling everything and that they hope W will change course. "We're your biggest fans" is one of the things he said to me... Made me feel really good about myself.
