She even said "see you" after I dropped her off for her hairdresser's appointment in town. When I took her and collected her from the airport she did not even say thank you after 4 hours as her chauffeur.

She also called me on the phone instead of just sending texts, which is what she has been doing to avoid talking to me.

Plus now, every time she feeds me I say thank you whereas before I just used to get up from the table and go away without saying anything or helping with the dishes. I used to go back to my office to work though, but still..
This is very good...keep up the good work Freddie...and watch out for MID CYCLE when the hormones start acting up. They usually settle down within two days AFTER the onset of a period. If you can make it through that, you will do a lot to create a new way of relating to each other...respect, kindness and consideration goes a long way towards mending a troubled relationship.
