Thanks for the encouragement. The things you've told me about detaching and becoming her friend, etc. has gotten me where I am with her today. Things are encouraging and I think I need to just continue to "kill her with compassion/kindness" so that I'm not backsliding. All while GAL of course.
I think the thing about the EA is that I'm worried about it happening again with someone else. Because she's taken off her ring, I don't know if she's using that as an open invitation for guys to ask her out. I think everyone who has gone through an A sitch has the same fear and insecurity.
Taking the emphasis off of her is first for me. I have been complimenting her here and there and I know that she's got a big test coming up for her nursing career, so I went ahead and ordered her some practice test materials to help her with that. Like a friend would.
Sometimes I wish she were a friend with benefits though. Just kidding.
