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.
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.
