Thanks for the feedback Whapu--I guess I can't go wrong if I just start in on the list. Maybe when you're feeling like it's a good idea, you can ask your wife to make a list of things she'd like for you to do...and you can use my list to give to her.
The last few days have been pretty much the same...except H is now firmly in OW territory, and I must admit to the occasional panic-pop-up in my brain. I don't pay them any mind, just garbage-in-garbage-out processing.
He has been good to call two or more times a day to check in, and my gut says he's behaving himself. We'll see. He's working in OW's facility this week. Blech. (Insert panic-pop-up here.)
In good news, H sent gifts for me with his dad and brothers when they returned from the riding trip. Everything fits and is very nice! It made me feel good that he thought of me while they strolled through a mall. I made sure to let him know that he did a fabulous job. He blew it off--he always does, but I am finally understanding that the way he reacts to praise is a macho front. Need to continue giving him more!
I'm hoping to have some time this week to nail down what I really need from H at this point, to see if it can be broken down into baby steps that I can ask for without pressuring or overwhelming him.
