Tammi,,,I wish I could offer some kind of wisdom,,,but with each couple, they have their own way to communicate. Since I have been married to Hal for coming on to 40 years, I can only say that we still hold hands, touch each other's leg in the car but only for a few minutes to just let each other know we care. Otherwise, we don't carry on a conversation for the whole trip. He goes in his office to watch TV and I stay in the living room. If we watched TV together, we would never agree on what to watch like it was ten years ago. He has turned into a grump and I just don't want to hear his grumbling. He does tell me he loves me but does not call just to talk. He was never one for that. I am surprised he got his cell phone but don't expect him to change his habit of keeping me aware of his plans. That will never change!!!!
I am the last one to be made aware of what is happening in the family.
I will probably never get him to go to WDW but he lets me go on my trips because he knows that is what makes me happy.
Let Bob pat you on the leg and then pat him back and
then say,,,let me drive now before I jump you !!!!!!
