How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It may be helpful for you, too.

I'm interested to hear how she reacted to your help with getting her pain meds.

I have read it, highlighted it, skimmed it again. I should probably go back and read it again, it have been quite some time since I looked at it.

She really didn't say much to the pain meds. She decided not to get them as the pain was way better yesterday and over the counter stuff was working.

I did bring lunch for her and our youngest who stayed home with her. Fixed dinner, helped with kids, etc.

She asked me to stay the night again. I was conflicted as to whether or not to stay because this is kind of the pattern we had before. We would set a schedule and I would slide into staying the night a day or two more a week. This led her to feel overwhelmed.

I asked her that I assumed she wanted me to stay when she said "I am tired, we can talk more in bed." I know she wanted help with kids during the night, but I told her that I wanted to make sure that she wanted me there and she was not feeling overwhelmed because I had not really planned on staying the night. She smirked and said she wanted me to stay, "its been nice."

She even mentioned how nice it was with me there and helping out, etc. She has three main love languages and "Acts of Service" is one of them.

When laying in bed she reached over and grabbed my hand and held it while she fell asleep. First time she has initiated contact with me that was not a hug good bye. Baby step, but a nice baby step.

If she feels better we will be trying to attend a concert tonight. She will let me know, but she said she was excited to go and bummed out she might not feel good enough. It is nothing serious, inflamation between the lungs and the ribs. Painful but not serious.
