I also feel like I see positive signs my wife cares, but also many that she hasn't totally turned toward me yet. GALing will help us both stay patient, although you have personal safety issues that I thankfully don't have to deal with...
You were not whining, and you telling me your story provides support than you will ever know. I am humbled to hear you say you are learning from me-I always felt like I learned so much more from you.
