Sounds a little bit like my W. It can be frustrating to have to do the hard work of something you want no part of. The worst part is that I could revert to my passive aggressive ways and literally make it impossible....but that would just justify her cause even more. Besides, I really do want to be her best friend and I love her very much. So until the ink is dry I plan to be her best friend (at least that is my plan now and it seems to make some difference).
I know what you mean with regards to GAL. It is hard for me as well. I am a good friend once I make one but it can be a challenge. Sounds like you are making good progress in this effort.
