Thanks Steve, I think I definitely started the talk charges before I left. Small talk, asking about how she feels about certain things with her parents, the kids, her work, etc. I truly believe that the talk charges have led to her thawing and reconnection (asking me to go to lunch, giving me a kiss, texting ILY). I've tried 2 or 3 touch charges before I left. Once in the kitchen, she was reading a recipe while prepping dinner...I came up behind her and rubbed her back for a second and gave her a kiss on the back of the head...no response (probably 10 days ago). The night before I left, we were sitting on the couch after dinner watching our nightly TV show with the kids. I touched her foot really briefly, which led to the very awkward scratching of my shoulder for 1 second. Not sure she's there yet...
Obviously it's easy to led your head spin out of control, especially when you have contact twice per day like we do while I'm away, but I am just super fearful and anxious that the separation of this work trip will push her away (for whatever reason). Again, I'm sure most of this is paranoia from setting up expectations, but I can't help but wonder.
