DH is trying to do his level best to make this marriage work out. We are not yet the best of friends but I wouldn't say we are entirely hopeless.
We do a lot of things together, for a change.
- He comes grocery shopping with me. (Or to put it in a different way, I allow him to come with me for grocery shopping)
- At the supermarket we buy small stuff for each other, a chocolate that I like, a pack of biscuit that he likes
- We go out together more often - last week was the mall
- We go for our daily runs together. Sometimes we go for a run early morning at 5:00 and sometimes late night at 9:00. Sometimes twice a day even.
- We cook for each other and we cook together
- We have our dinner together - not in front of our respective computers.
- We have started watching TV together - and watch reruns of Big Bang Theory, Poirot, Murder She Wrote, Miss Marple and a lot of late night movies during weekends.
- He started calling me while at work and sometimes when I am feeling good, I return the favour.
We haven't started talking a lot, but this I guess this is a good start. When something has broken down completely you don't have any hopes and zero expectations. That alone makes it better. Despite all the above, DH has still not been able to answer me to - "What his reaction would have been if I were the one to "almost" cheat him?"
In the meanwhile I bought a baby.
I smile whenever I see her. Really I do.....I even wave out to other people driving the same car.

Chinty,let me admit something first. All your previous posts used to make me depressed due to the negativism in it. But, this one, after reading it I feel true joy and genuine happiness for you. Also I think this is one of the very few posts where you haven't mentioned anything about money. Keep chugging along, focusing on one positive thing after another. Before you know, you both would learn to love each other by appreciating the good qualities you have to offer. Small things in life make us happier and it is not a cliche. :)
love, hugs and positive thoughts Chinty. This is a brave and great start right here and love your new baby. Take good care of it.
