Interesting here, I don't have a son, but directly relate to the other three. Making bed daily. This is something that Tim Ferriss actually turned me onto, and there's been tons of research done (there's a reason it's forced in the military), on how making your bed first thing in the morning can prompt you for a more productive and better day. Wearing cologne. Another one that I started about the time we started "structured separation". Even if I was in jeans/t-shirt, I always had my cologne on. The only thing she responded to on this was "you used to never wear cologne for me." I just say, "welp, I'm sorry you had to deal with who I was back then, but I'm wearing cologne daily now.". She shrugs... GAL. My GAL activities so far have been received as selfish, and like I'm leaving her in the dust...


I'm sure each sitch is different, and each spouse is at different levels in the WW'ness, anger, emotions, etc. It seems like you're doing all the right things. Keep it up!
