    I realize a lot of this sounds like beta, beta, beta, but just the idea that he's thinking of me in a way that's possibly not negative has me feeling better.  Some of the advice on here probably applies to women differently, so it's difficult to navigate it sometimes.

    Have you told/showed him that you've noticed and appreciated his efforts? Positive reinforcement.

    I hope so.  I've said thank you for everything as it's happened in a very appreciative way (not just in passing, plus a hug and kiss) since I really do appreciate it.

    You gave him some he could do, instead of just knowing something was wrong.

    Not much to update.  Still working on diet and exercise.  Getting into more of a routine on chores as well.  We've been getting along a lot better lately, but part of that is due to him working a lot more as well.  I feel like the house runs more smoothly if we have more time apart, like I can appreciate him more if he's not around too much.  Not sure if that's good or not, but the relative peace has been pleasant.

    I did have a question though.  I have been eating dinner with the kid at our normal time and saving him a plate unless he has a business dinner, but I'm not sure if this is going to cause a problem or not.  He has mentioned how nice it is for us all to sit down together for a meal, but I really cannot justify feeding my child that late or letting them be the only one eating every night while I wait for hubby.  I feel like this is reasonable since I'm still cooking for everybody.  Not sure what to do.

    I save a plate when he's working late, which is a lot lately. I'm sure he wouldn't want you and the kids feeling hungry. You can have family time another night.

    Save a plate for him; be glad he likes to sit down as a family, but he knows why it didn't happen.
