Today my WW who hasn't said more than 5 words to me since D-Day came in the house from work, while I was in the middle of making dinner. She had something in her hand; it was flowers. Yellow Carnations or something like that. I know yellow is for friendship or thank you and Red is for love but at this stage I would have taken pine cones or dandelions it's what she said that made my week!

She didn't give them to me seductively or even very lovingly matteroffact she was sort of in a huff. It was like she was mad and wanted to stay that way, but she wanted to do this for me too,
I guess you can say she was conflicted.

WW: I got these for you
BS: Flowers for me?
WW: Yes, I just wanted you to know I noticed how hard you've been trying
BS: and you think I'm wasting my time right?
WW: (looks away exhales)
WW: ....I just want to say ...I noticed
BS: Thank you for noticing, but we're worth it

Ever since I exposed her EA she's been moody, sarcastic, indifferent, withdrawn and sometimes downright mean. I've done several nice things for her, trying to stay inline with PLAN A
"...don't try" or "...just save yourself from
me"...so today was very fulfilling.

WW is noticing my efforts, PLAN A is helping!!
Without Dr. Harley and you guys I would have been too upset to save my marriage. I would have went directly into defense mode and lashed out. There may be light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to all of you for your support. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
