When is kindness enough?

[Ripe]

Yesterday night I arrived home from work.
STBXW was preparing cookies for S7 birthday party with school mates today.
She asked for help and I help baking some cookies and preparing dinner.
Everybody was in good mood and we looked like a real intact family.
But something important happened.
During dinner I played some classical music and said out loud "I love this music."
I need to explain that I am the only person I know of that likes classical music. When STBXW and I started dating all those years ago I made her listen to it a lot and she started enjoying it.
As of late she would say that sentence that every classical music lover hates: "this music is so boring". I stopped expressing my love for music although I did not stop listening to it.
So yesterday when I said it out loud I was just being me, but expressing an emotion I had suppressed for a long time.
After dinner S7 wanted to play some modern music and STBXW said: "Stop. This music (Handel harp concerto) is lovely." This was the second big thing of the night.
