Just got a text from my W: "I got a babysitter for us tonight. I want to go see a movie."

It makes me happy - I want to go - but to your point Orich, this is one of the things that would drive me crazy. I would think "She wants a date! She wants to work on things!" and I would start building expectations. Then she would start talking about D and I would be crushed.

It's a bit of a juggling act, but I am starting to be able to compartmentalize. On one side, I have to accept that she is not (currently) interested in me Romantically, and on the other side accept that she still wants to be part of a couple and to do things as a couple.
