Interactions between w and I are staying on the upbeat side. End of visits still seem to make her uncomfortable.
W has been reaching out by text more mostly to thank me for things or a good visit.

As i stated early in this thread i text good night to her every night. This is something i have done for years if we were apart i never expect a return text but just recently i have been recieving some return texts.

I may be overthinking again but at time i believe the w is watching how the kids and i are interacting with each other and this gets her more involved on the nights she visits.

Question
Boundaries have not been talked about but it seems the some have fell naturally in to place. Have others found this to be the case too?

With the situation at a stand still should i be makeing more boundaries. I ask this because other then leaving my w has not changed or pulled away any farther.

Actually contact seems to be increasing but if she feels and push from me i get the cold shoulder and the blank stare.

Changes at the house. Changes of me personally and the kids are being noticed. W will not mention them when we are together but it comes up in texts and in conversations she is having with mutual friends. Yes she seems to be starting to connect with some of her friends again also.

Now lets talk about me... i have been keeping busy with work and home projects. In the last year i have lost 75 lbs over the last 5-6 months maybe lossing it a little to fast but my health has improved greatly.

Vacation started yesterday. Road trip is big on planned events. Also reading and general laziness at the beach.

Question

With the interactions being improved should i ask the wife to be involved with one of the family vacation outings?
