I think you set a record for having the most happy/sad/embarassed faces in one post, lol.
I am SO glad things are looking up for you.
As far as the "just wanting him to go to the grocery store with you" thing, I think my W likes that kind of thing too but in the past, somehow I percieved that she DIDN'T want me to do that, just like I thought she didn't want me downstairs with her when I was home.
What she wanted was for me to go out of my way to go with her to the store, and for me to be with her downstairs when I had other things I COULD be doing. She wanted me to make a choice to be with her, not just do it by default.
