My Wife Walked Out 5

[RSG]

So, just had a little conversation about the little guy. He participated in their little preschool parade and somehow W got pics and FWD to me. Made me smile, she was ecstatic.
I spoke with the Inclusion Specialist for our County, and the woman mentioned she will come observe his classroom and help his teachers create an environment for him and try to work on strategies to encourage his participation. I fwd the info to W, and again ecstatic.

She did say "I feel so bleak" and I thought she meant about S, and how he is doing but then said she meant physically. I said "If you don't mind me asking do you feel ok?" And she just said work is really annoying. I said I hope S made your day better, and she said yes he has. I just said "Good luck with the rest of your day" and she responded "Thank you so much."

I wanted to follow up that last one to ask if she wanted to talk about anything, but figured that'd ruin another positive interaction w/my pressing too much. It's one of those things: She feels crummy, I want to make her feel better. Or at least give her a listening ear so she can unburden herself. But, if she wants to talk she'll open up to me. I feel like I'm making tiny deposits into her love bank.

Actually, I was thinking. Yesterday, she walked in front of me to kiss S while in his car seat while the door was open. Her butt was about 6 inches from me. I realized it after a few secs, and moved out of the way. I think I may be at the point where I could put my hand on her shoulder or waist while moving away when something like that happens again. If she recoils or comments, I'll know to stop but I don't think she'll respond that way. No expectations since it's a tiny gesture, but I think I'm ready to test those waters....
