in house S (5)

Hey,

I can see the point of W has a lot of benefits and not too much down side. This is a fine line. I know what the sitch is, but it seems to be changing, the dynamic is changing and I am making changes based on that. It seems to be going in a direction that I like. There has been no talk of OM or S, W has been home more and more open to doing family things. She is talking to me more. We are having better interactions.

Last night, I had the kids at an event, and W went to the gym, so I didn't see W till I got home with the kids. We all watched TV and then I put the kids to bed. W gave me a list of bills to pay, was all gifts. I had questions and she answered , there was no argument. I double checked about the gifts and W says they were from the kids to her family. Didn't really feel good about writing a check for it but I agreed to this before. I am just not used to all this gift giving when bills are outstanding. But like I said I agreed to it last month so moving on.

Wife asks me to help wrap S7 B-day gifts. She has the stuff where she watches tv and I go and help her wrap them. Then I stayed to watch TV. I stayed for one show. It was kind of weird because I didn't know if she wanted me there or not but she didn't kick me out. I left after the show and stated to get stuff ready for me making noise in the other room.

This morning S7 opens gifts and then Its time for me to leave for work. All of them are sitting on the ground and I hug each kid and tell them I love them and then I touch my W on the head as I walk by and say good bye.

It has been months since I have touched her like that so it was good to get past that point. She said good bye.

I get to work and she has texted me twice already, problems setting up the new game S7 got this morning. So I text her back and help get it worked out. Two hours later another text about other son giving her a hard time. So I text back validating her text.

Tonight we are going to take out S7 for dinner for his B-Day.

I am going very slow with this. I think I will keep it at this pace and let W lead on how much space she needs right now. I don't want to give her any pressure right now.
