1. Have fun and interesting conversations without talking about us, family, etc. - This is working very well right now.
2. For her to start sleeping in the bedroom with me again.
3. For us to increase physical contact. We have been touching more and more over the past weeks and I want that to continue. I have started giving her a kiss on the head at night when I go to bed.
As these are completed, I eventually want her to put her ring back on, and then work on peicing. At some point in the distant future, I want to be able to talk with her about R to set goals together for the future. I know this will take a lot of time...
I have set my affection as this. I am still not calling, texting or emailing right now. I only show affection in the morning and before bed. (good morning and good night) I want her to feel like I am giving her space but at the same time show some affection at those good moments. If she is willing, I am sure ready! I am basically taking what she gives and not expecting much. Its like we are dating again, I try some things and she lets me do what she is willing to.
If she does come back to bed, my plan is to sleep on the opposite side and not touch her for the first week or so. We always used to cuddle and she could not sleep without touching me. We will have to build back up to that.
If you think I am off line with any of this, please tell me!
