Over the Shock - Detaching and GALing

[Thinker]

I'm pretty calm. Most of my thoughts and efforts right now are going into trying to learn about myself, how I react to people, what makes me tick, etc.

My R is still pretty distant and detached, but I'm ok with that right now. It actually gives me some space that I need right now for my own work.

Interesting -- yesterday evening I went out and rented a movie for myself and tried to pick something that I wanted to watch and which was as far as possible from a date movie - The Dark Knight (the latest batman movie). Surprisingly, she asked me to wait to watch it so she could join me, and then watched it with me. She started the movie in her classic pose - as far away as possible from me, leaning away, etc, and finished the movie lying down with her feet on my lap. I'll take that as progress.
