Hi Slowly, Good ideas! I think that I do thank and compliment him a lot...he's not big on words, and he's more interested in my "showing" him love ie trusting him and getting along.
So, I can list 3 positives!
1. I decided not to go to my nephew's bday party b/c of not being sure if coming down with something or not. H called me about making arrangements going out w/a group of friends Sat. I told him I wasn't going to party. (He & my sis & BIL don't talk to each other.) H did not make plans to go out w/a friend. I called later b/c I went to the lib. on the way home from work. I asked if he was going out. He said no since I wasn't going to the party. I said that he didn't have to not go anywhere on my account, but was pleased.
2. H was stroking my hair for a little bit while on the couch. He does usually touch my shoulder or head, but I LOVE when he strokes my hair.
3. H conferred with me about plans w/friends sat.
We got along fine last night. He was talkative as I made dinner, we were both affectionate and huggy in between. He is definitely getting sick.
