I had an interesting development today. My wife allowed me to touch her for the first time in a while today. Nothing major, just different to what has been. Last night she noticed a lump inside her mouth and asked me to take a look. No biggie. It's there, she's curious, I'm there and I can see it better. I feel that looking inside someone is kind of personal though. This morning, she asks me to look at something on the back of her neck. It's fairly hard to see so I have to feel her neck and gently guide her under the light. Again, no biggie and writing this, I initially couldn't remember if it was today or yesterday. Tonight, my wife dyes her hair, comes out and asks me to clean dye off her neck. Last time she dyed it she didn't ask for help. Again, I need to touch her neck to do so as well as guide her under the light.

It's a subtle change and potentially a one-off (two-off?). Overall we're still distant and doing our own things. I'm still spending my time in my bedroom unless the kids are home and then I'm in the second living area away from my wife. Things are more pleasant though we're like housemates and I can still walk past her without either of us acknowledging the other's presence.
