I am not the best at goals either, as you can tell.
#1) What I mean is just to have non relationship talks about life. The great thing is, we have been doing that a lot lately. Just her talking to me about what is important to her. We used to be best friends and I think we are getting back to that....
#2) She has to get confortable with me again and get rid of some of her anger and resentment. Update at the bottom....
3) That is vague... We do have physical contact quite a bit. The ultimate goal is kissing, but I think holding hands would be a good start.
UPDATE: Well, last week my W got the chance to talk and let some things out with a 3rd party. This is something I thought she needed, but she would not do. Since that time, I have noticed a big difference. She seems to be trying to open up some. We had a GREAT weekend together. We talked, we danced, and she even talked about the future again. She even slept in the bed again on night. I am so excited, but I am trying not to show it around her.
Last night, she slept on the couch again, but I think that will take time to stick. I have offered a kiss each night before bed and she accepts it on the forehead. I am of course hoping for a real kiss soon, but I am taking what I can get. No I love you, no kisses yet, but I can see her wanting to try more. I am just sitting back and letting it happen. I think she can see that I am not pushing even when she gives a little, so its making it easier for her.
It has been very hard to not be excited! When she left this morning I wanted a kiss, but she didn't open up to it, so I just told her bye. It bothered me a little, but we have made so many steps this weekend... I am very happy with what I am seeing. Maybe tonight she will open up a little more. She wants to start walking at night and wants me to join her!!!!
Good things happening in my world. Just hoping the backslide is not too bad....
