Just catching up with you to see where we are.....yep, pretty much right on target in our parallel lives.
I've also been enjoying my "free" time lately, & although I thought I was doing some light dating, there seemed to be expectations of more of a commitment than I have any desire of fulfilling. It's nice that you've found women who aren't going to pressure you for more (at least not yet).

Now this is a W I could happily live with and when she is like this it softens my resolve and I am sure she knows it.
Its easy when she is being abrasive and difficult to decide to keep moving on , then it seems just as she thinks she pushed to far she turns on the charm to try and real me back in.
The answer is of course to reward he for being good , i.e the thanks but to maintain my course in the same way that I would if she was being abusive to me.
Uncanny how she knows just when she's pushed you too far & when to start pulling you back in. The anger you see seems likely to be from your new attitude of detachment. It's probably hard for her to take when you're enthusiastic about helping her set up a more permanent place, that would make any WAS take notice.
As they say in the "As If" attitude, when you stop returning pain for pain, meet their emotional needs in a respectful, though not submissive way, that the dynamics of the R change.
It sounds like you're in a good place over-all & getting better all the time.
