I haven't seen anything quite like this. Hugs, kisses, ILY? If it weren't for the last, I'd figure she just thought she wanted friendship. Is this friends hug, kiss, and ILY...or married couple?
Well, neither of us hug, kiss, ILY any of our friends, or even family. I figure holding hands when you kiss and share ILY like we did tonight isn't what friends do, right?

I would suggest that you settle into your house, enjoy it, and try not spending every waking minute with her. While she's enjoying you as her security blanket, what have you learned about your own independence? It might be nice to take some breaks from her.
Something has REALLY changed in her this week. We talked on IM pretty much all day - I initiated just to check on D, but W kept it going all day. She kept telling me she was exhausted and not feeling good - Turns out after she went to bed last night she couldn't sleep, so she was up until really late cleaning her house and doing chores. We talked off and on about who was going to take D and things. I left my cell phone charger at her house and my phone was dead, so I said I'd go over there sometime to get it and pick up some other stuff. I took D with me, and W was really happy to see us. We ended up watching some cartoons with D, while I helped W with some stuff in the house. I pretty much left with my charger and curtains that W didn't want, but thought would look good in my house.
I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to say W is happy, but she seems really pleasant around me and talks ALL THE TIME when I am with her. She offered to take D tomorrow (I have her tonight), but that was always her night out with people from work... Seems like she's shutting herself off from people at work and her friends in general. Personally I think she's starting to hate being at work, since OM is there.
W and I hugged in her driveway after we put D in the car. She looked so burned out and exhausted. We kissed a bunch and I told her to call me if she needed anything - She said she would. I ended up having to drive back to her house because she still had the keys for my house (I asked her to get an extra set made yesterday). She was so apologetic for not giving them back to me - Part of me wishes I'd had the spare set handy and just left W with the originals, but I'll get the new set to her this week.
