Hey CVA, haven't heard from you for a while, but saw that you posted on Strange's thread, so I decided to check yours out, and I started at the beginning, and noticed a big similarity, as you probably don't know, me and the W, are now friends, the signs have begun to show, and my PMA is hitting, all time highs.
But, I also thought I might have kind of pushed her a little this week, I hugged her and gave her a small peck on the cheek, one day, and she hugged back, and my DD11 said that she was smiling all the way home, and in a great mood all day long, after that. Then the next day we met, for another family outing, but it turned out to be more of a talk about our R, (kind of my fault there, but we both survived it, and left in good spirits) I did hug her that day as well, but then since I was feeling so good, I asked her to hold hands, which she said no to, I didn't really push much, after that. instead I decided to just keep things on a friendly level, and told W later that I was sorry, I didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable, and told her that I only wanted to be friends, best friends if possible, and she said OK, to the friends, but the best friend thing, she didn't know about, so I just left it alone.
But since then she has really started to open up to me about the her money sitch and that the OM is really not helping her, and confirming what an A$$ I know him to be, I know that she isn't ready to admit it to herself, yet. So at this point, and I want to know if you agree with me, I think I should just back off the physical stuff, even though, according to the kids, it does make her happy and puts a smile on her face to know that I want to touch her, also I can tell from her voice when she is happy with me, and just keep going with being a good friend, and even though she looks like she needs it, and sometimes good friend do it, refrain from hugging her. What do you think? Take Care.
