Hi Rottzilla, thanks....I posted before I saw your thanks so the order doesnt make much sense. I guess I need to look/think back to how cold and distant things were between us last year at this time, even last summer/early fall, to help me keep my head on straight. They really are much warmer and closer and friendlier and more fun now, so there has to be big progress. Like the book says, its' just hard to see sometimes. I'm thinking it is a babystep that is maybe outside of my goals....it has to be a positive though. H is starting to joke around with me a little bit. We have this springer spaniel that is known as our 3rd kid....the dog is so jealous, he will literally try to push me away from H....this morning when I was getting out of the shower, he told the dog "I need you to protect me from that woman, you have to keep her away from me, I think she's going to do something naughty"....then H gave me a little hug and laughed as the dog ran to get between us. There was a day, not so long ago, when he never smiled around me and obviously wanted to be away from me, let alone laughing....so I gotta journal this one too! I remember how I used to long to hear him laugh and joke. Come to think of it he did some of that Sunday night as well.
