Jefe, I have just been reading DR for the first time...very helpful. Someone said they learned to treat their spouse much as they would a neighbour - during 180/LRT. So if a neighbour asked me how my Gran was doing, I'd briefly tell them, think no more about it and carry on with my day.
Perhaps you could see these texts as small signs of progress - but remain pleasant, brief and distant....
