Thanks CIPA for the comments. That's what's great about the boards we all learn from each other.
pollyanna, dq, robx, thanks for all your insights as well.
I think for now I'm going to act like Carol in the DR book. I can't change how she's going to be with the OM at work, but I can continue to change myself. I'm going to keep GAL, being nice to her and have patience.
I'm also going to update my list of goals, try them out for a couple of weeks and change them if there is or isn't a response to them. If she brings up the R talk, I'm going to validate and see what she actually says.
I'm going to back off giving her pressure and see how that goes. Like I said, everything was going well up until 2 weeks ago when something happened in her head.
I'll see how things go with the show this weekend. Regardless of what happens, I intend to have a fun time.
