Where do I go fromhere?

I actually think her attitude is good - she is keeping in touch with you. If you were having an A would you want to call your W and check in?

How much do you think your W thinks you listen to her? I mean really listen?
Maybe this is an A or maybe this is some person who happened to start a conversation with her because he worked in the shop and SHE felt encouraged and that they were interested in her and her thoughts. He stopped working there and she hasn't gone back.

I make friends in bookstores - I love reading and talking books - seriously. I also picked up people for my reading group there - by accident - I didn't go looking. Even my plumber used to come and see me after he finished the building job at my house to talk books - and he was scrummy!!!! seriously nice - and his wife joined my bookclub and she and I get on well.

Maybe I am strange, (you don't have to answer that!!!), - but if your wife is gregarious then I don't see a big problem; she has reached a time of big change in her life.

I agree - avoid R talk - DBust and carry on with your M.

You know, typing this out has been very theraputic for me, as it has reminded me of how outgoing I used to be. I stopped all that after finding out about H's A and became introverted. Thank you - this is what I need to get back to. Picking up people and making friends.
