I am feeling better, at peace. Whew, needed to feel that.

Well I am sitting (half laying) on the couch and H is getting the grill ready to cook dinner. He comes by and gives me a hug, then says hi___(insert pet name-which he has only said once since this has all happened). I reply Hi (pet name)He then gives me a kiss!!! Then he reaches down and touches my knee. I know, sounds goofy but hey when he hasn't touched you in a long time, you take what you can get. Right??

While cooking, he gets the portable outdoor fireplace going.
When dinner is done, he comes and says (sheepishly) I made the fire too big, I will have to eat outside. I smile and say okay. He then adds, you can eat out there too. Well, I decide to detach and I ate inside with the kids. He is still out there with his fire.

Baby steps.
