Still DB'ing - Still Learning from WAW (6)

[asitis]

Look at the question if anything is wrong in another way. Some of us are the ones asking our Ss, but our Ss are not asking us if something is wrong. They might check us out to see if something is different (W gave me a quick up & down tonight when I got home that I don't think she was aware she was doing, but either doesn't register my mood or just doesn't really care all that much).

That there is some attention to your mood & needs is a good sign even if you have to bite your tongue on the answer. Reciprocation of concern and focus is a good thing. Of course, by itself it doesn't mean a significant change is occurring, but it still is a good sign.

In PP's case, there are some there are some other very good signs. It doesn't mean that a fundamental change is occurring (yet), but I read the asking if he was OK as a good, if frustrating, thing. And, he handled it well.
