Quote: he's warmed up to me some, no ILYs nor affection like before
Not sure how I would handle that. I doubt I'd do that well with half-ways back. My "W" isn't like that. She is all the way in...getting her hands dirty. I know she loves me and she tells me so. Our problems are usual marital difficulties, plus dealing with past issues, plus a few other wrinkles and mistrust brought about by stupid lies (from me). We deal with demons and fears that stuck with us from the old, dead marriage. But at least I don't have to worry (most of the time) about making her love for me, just keeping it alive (which is hard enough).
