LOL Pup, I've thought your #2 a number of times recently. Ya know, I distance myself from her and she starts suggesting all kinds of things for us to do together and I get pulled back in, which I don't mind, because I LOVE being with her.
So the real question is, RIGHT NOW, what is the correct play? Is she at a point where she wants me to pursue? She seems to LIKE spending time with me and has responded to acts of kindness. I mean, she's told me "thank you" more times in the last couple weeks than she has I think in all our marriage. If I distance myself at this point, would I be reinforcing my absence from when I was traveling so much right before her A started? Would I be pushing her away when she's obviously shown me through her actions/words that she wants to get closer?
I just don't know what's the right thing right now. And really, for the next month and a half, I won't have much of an opportunity to show her any distance. Ok, the second week of Dec I have to go out of town for work for a night, but that's about it.
I guess I'll probably continue to pursue, but not over do it. I plan on getting some flowers to have delivered to our hotel room so they're there when we get there. Nothing mushy on the card or anything and definitely NOT roses, but just a nice arrangement. I figure, if I'm going to not have much of a chance to distance myself anyway, might as well play the pursuing card and see if she responds.
