Progress is good. More "courting" going on which makes me feel like her "boyfriend". I guess that is how it is supposed to be if you are starting over. I saw a few more examples of being able to say almost anything to her if I say it calm and courteously. She has been expecting me to do a ton of things around the house in a short amount of time. I simply told her I was doing all I could and the pace was making me a little "crabby" so don't take it personally. She said she really didn't expect it to all get done and I was doing a great job. That is no where near how it would have gone on the past. I would have barked at her about getting off of my back and she have withdrawn. Much better now.
My outlook is consistently getting better but I am still guarded. This BB has taught me that if I take care of my side of the fence the other side will do the same. It works. She actually wants to have a "meeting" about her business tonight. She also made comments that she now sees how I want to help her and that our strengths are very complimentary to the others. We are "finally" working as a "team". That feels so good. Still no ILY but the peace and harmony is reward enough.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and fathers' day. I am especially appreciative this year.
