Hello everyone, it has been a long day, a good day. I think I may have found an avenue to the promised land. Let me describe my observations and have you the jury decide.
Two weeks ago I was rearranging the garage so that my wife can park her car inside for the winter. When I was done clearing the floor space I noticed that my 25 sheets of corrugated steel were close by and when she would enter/exit her car she could bang her head. Relocating the materials in the garage took a half a day because the size and weight of each of the 25 pieces. When I was done I had her pull her car in and apologized that it took an extra day but I didn't want her to hit her head. Her response was not what I expected, she said nicely "Aah, you didn't want me to get hurt", she smiled and said thank you.
My wifes car has been flashing a servicing message since last week. She was supposed to call this week but she is very busy at work. This morning I called the dealership and asked if I brought it over could they fix it now. So I drove over and had them fix it. On the way home I filled up her car. I got home before she woke up. Later that morning I told her what I had done. She looked me in the eye and thanked me.
This afternoon she asked me about my IC insurance paper work. My wife has always paid the bills. I told her that I was taking care of it. She was happy and said thank you. She was slightly more talkative to me today around the kids.
I am getting positive responses from her through these acts of service. I will step up and take care of things when I can. I am aware that this may not change the final outcome of my marriage but I am also aware that these acts make the household atmosphere better. These positive moments could having an affect on the outcome.
So what do you think? I plan to make it one of my goals. I'll expand on that thought tomorrow and answer your questions. I tired, good night.
