I'm an optimist and always believe in happy endings....... have to hold to that.
Question: So my W and I haven't really touched (at all) since the second big R talk where the ILYBINILWY bomb was dropped. She's been pretty nice since then, and yeah..... I've been doing behavior modification (not for her, or rather not just for her) since. I make it a point to make a LOT of eye contact now and be completely decisive now..... no screwing around. Yesterday she asked if there was anything I wanted from the store, being decisive now I said Bayer Aspirin (not thinking she would remember anyway... she's been forgetting anything she says she'll do). Today she actually texts at the end of the day and says "do you need anything other that Aspirin?". I text back and say "nope that's it. Thanks". When she arrives home, I open the door for her, smile and keep eye contact with her as she enters....... she leans in and kisses me. Later that night as we talk about our days, I actually get her to laugh.... a REAL laugh.... it's been a long time since that's happened. Then after all that, she gets cold and irritated (nothing nasty, just irritated).
So my question is: If a MLC'er or WAS (or combo) "slips up" and enjoys you for a little while..... they drag themselves back involuntary?
Has laughter been used as a treatment for MLC or WAS? There's joy in laughter, seems like a way to punch thru the confusion even for a moment?
Still getting used to this stuff in the real world.
