All,
Gave W a kiss goodnight last night and told her I love her. She said she loved me too! This am she seemed a bit more stand off-ish, but I kissed her good morning and kissed her again when I left and told her I love you. She didn't say it back this time, but smiled and told me to have a good day.

Our 11 year anniversary is Saturday. I am going to get her a card and pick some peonies for her. I am taking her to dinner at a really trendy place and then to a movie. I arranged the sitter. I also need to give her SSM, but am still nervous about this.

I am liking this man of steel approach, but I want to know what I do with myself when I am feeling down, sad, rejected, because those feelings come and go. I know I can't project them on my W anymore because that has driven her farther away. How do some of you cope with this?
