Hey all,<p>Thought I'd share some good news for a change. I've been pretty down the last week or two, and it didn't get any better when DW told me several days ago that she's SO HAPPY in life (this, while I'm still floundering and wondering).<p>So..... I just got off the phone with her (we're going an outdoor Shakespear play this eve), and it came out that I'm stressed. She asked about what, work? I said pretty much everything.<p>She didn't quite understand, and told me not to stress over her. I asked how that'd be possible and she said..... ready? She want's to work on it, that's why she wore her wedding ring last week for our anniversary dinner.<p>So, is it just me, or all guys just terrible with subtle? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Now I'm gonna go run around the yard and cheer!<p>Cya later,
K

I'm happy to hear this, Kev. Cheer away!<p>But say .... lets make sure her actions match her words. In the meantime, you continue to keep those expectations low. <p>God Bless you.<p>Lv,
Jo

Hi Kevco,<p>Long time no post!!!! Well from a W BS take it from me, we must be dense because of all that fog and don't see their signs!!! So don't feel bad. <p>Anyway, after being bashed from the A day in and day out how are you going to know immediately that they stopped bashing you? Emotionally, mentally and sometimes even physically our defenses are still up. <p>So you not dense just how can I say this..... cautious? yep yep yep....... that's it Cautious. <p>I got mad at my H the other day and he told me he was trying real hard. I said yes I do see progress but he had taken a couple of steps backwards and I caught on immediately. So I acknowledged his progress but did let him know that his major slips were majorly setting my trust back to zero or in the red. Hm..... he understood. Now that's progress. Even this ol BS saw that!!! LOL! [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>take care,
L.<p>
take care,
L.

~~~doing the happy dance~~~<p>YEAH!!
I agree with Jo on this one, keep those expectations low!! I'm gonna guide Bill over here, I'm sure he can respond better than me at this point.<p>Still praying,

Kev,<p>OK, here's my take. Expectations low? OK. Caution? Sure. Now that that's out of the way...RIGHT ON!!! Be happy. Do that little dance!!!!!! Don't let your caution get in the way of feeling really really good right now. You have reason to celebrate so damnit, celebrate and feel good. And I, sir, will right now go have a beer in your honor! I'm happy for you and I hope it goes well. Tell Jill I said hi.<p>Smile a lot,
Bill

Boy Kev, this is good news. This is really good news. Really, really, really good. <p>I join everyone else in being happy for you. Keep up the good work. Hope it all works out. <p>SS
