Before the new beginning- need advice

Why don't alligators eat clowns?
Because they TASTE funny!!

Even if the jokes are stupid, it feels good to laugh. Especially together. My W has commented on how she loves the way I make her laugh. And how she loves to hear ME laugh. At this point in ALL of our lives, there's a whole bunch of serious crap going on. It's nice to escape it for just a bit, not take life so cereal!

There can be a tendency for people to associate how they feel with who they're with at the time. Wouldn't it be nice for our spouses to think of happiness and laughter and light-hearted, good feelings when they think of us? Instead of the "oh, God, it's time to be serious, I have to make a decision, keep my guard up, be on my best behaviour,...." type of feelings.

Just a theory of mine, but seems to be a "more of what works" for me.

Maybe some night, take him out, don't tell him where you're going, and end up at a comedy club?

Maybe there's a difference in him because there's a difference in you?

Your plan sounds great! You sound good, you sound calmer and more relaxed. Seems like YOU are doing something that's working. Be patient, and don't change anything for awhile. Keep up the good work, my friend!!
