Matilda and Jak, Yes, we reconnected the next day, and went dancing the next evening.
I'm not sharing my poems with her at this time. They're drafts at this point.
We're meeting with a financial planner today.
There's a picnic this weekend at the home of someone in the dance community. I didn't go last year as there was great distance in the M, and didn't feel comfortable in public with my W.
I'm thinking I should attend this year, even though she's hesitant to display our marital status to the world. We're getting along much better in private, so it seems like a safe risk to venture out in public with her beyond a dance venue. I don't anticipate her using a public venue to be passive-aggressive like she has in the past. I'm still somewhat nervous about it though. I may drive separately, so I'm not trapped for the entire day, and lessen the risk of something going wrong.
Our anniversary was yesterday, and I forgot. It hasn't been celebrated these past several years, so the date doesn't stick out for me. She brought it up to me, and said she wasn't upset that I hadn't remembered. We had talked about celebrating it in Hawaii.
