arjnex,

Well to be honest with you, the only other thing I can think of is simply to talk to her, more often, about those things that are difficult for you. If you are looking for feedback from her tell her that, if you are just wanting to get something off your chest, tell her that too.

Other than that...if you haven't yet picked up the book "The Five Love Languages" pick that up and read it....it really can give you great information on how to communicate your feelings for her in a manner she can understand, there's also a little quiz in the back for men and women...it could be a good thing for you two to take and talk about.

Remember though, that YOU have to talk with her...so when something's bothering you...and you get that "walking on egg shells" feeling....make a note to give yourself a mental kick in the butt as necessary....because it's when you feel that way that it's most important to suck it up and bust through that wall.

I'm glad to hear you have more mobility.

So...any word from her yet since your talk? One thing you will find the LD spouse often does is not re-visit a conversation. You will say what you need to, they will respond for a bit (better than they had been) and then they will think you have been satisfied and settle right back into their previous behavior.

The card you bought her was very sweet, it as a nice gesture on your part and I completely understand why you did that...and think it's great. Don't be surprised though if that little kind gesture gives her a sense of "you're ok with things now". I'm certainly not saying, discontinue things like that...I'm not at all saying that....just be prepared that she "could" behave as though everything is ok now.
