Your explanation of hope vs expectations makes sense. I will try to stick with hope.
She didn't go to work last night so she was at the house in the morning. We were both doing stuff in the kitchen at the same time. We didn't say anything to each other but we stayed out of each other's way.
I continue to try and do nice things for her without over doing it. My aa sponser tells me to be careful with the kind gestures. They may be taken as me trying to rub her face in what happened at court on Tues.
Also, I am still wearing my ring. Should I continue too?
