Quote: i've discovered just how cherished i feel when my H holds my hand, when we are walking around town, in the car while he is driving (he puts my hand on his knee and his hand over mine ) and lately, even when we are sleeping.
Slowly,
Have you told H how cherished his actions make you feel? I recently told H how thrilled I was when he strokes my hair as we are shopping together or cuddling at home. I told him the fact that I was still so thrilled by his touch (as if we're just dating) shows that I have not started to take him for granted and I noticed that he does it more now. IMO, you should tell your H or thank him when he does something that makes you feel happy so he will know that he is doing the right thing and continue to do so.
Sorry Bolette,
I did not mean to detract from your topic. I am very happy for you that you are making these baby steps (or rather they sound like big strides to me). I've read some of your threads and like the way you've been mentally handling the SSM so this is very big. Keep us posted will ya?
