Well, this is an interesting situation you find yourself in. Depending on how your wife is feeling / thinking, there could be many possibilities I suppose. It is encouraging that there seems to be a greater contact of late, more felt connection with her. I find it is a very confusing world to be in, this separation zone...the boundaries are not always clear around the edges.
I can really relate to what you are saying re: how hard it is to portray strength and confidence when you feel anything but that inside. I think it's good that you are out there in the world and doing some GAL activities, including enjoying the company of a female friend. How this impacts on W. is something to consider, but then if you don't really know the impact on her, it is only a good guess! I think continued observation and experimentation is a good way to go here, C_K.
