Review of Goals. NB W goals are a work-in-progress. I have archived the goals I have achieved.
With W:
1. When W uses her nickname for me (affectionate nickname) more frequently either written or vocally. This will mean she is thinking of me more positively.
2. When W says she would like Us/her to see an IC/MC. An ultimate goal?
3. When W asks for a shoulder rub or foot massage or if I initiate a shoulder rub or foot massage and she accepts
4. When W compliments me on a positive change I have made since BD i.e. 'Your such a good father to the kids' 5. When W wears her wedding band again. THIS IS PARTIALLY ACHIEVED 6. When W is 'happy' to go out with me at a function without the kids - even as 'friends'. SHE SAID YES TO THE MOVIES
