Okay, so @Coach suggests dealing with the situation as if waiting for a cat to jump in my lap. Quite apart from the naughty implications of the metaphor, I'm basically hip to the concept.
But what about boundaries? In other words, to what extent does LBS want / need to resist WAS's seeming pursuit (or pursuit-lite)?
Since the meeting with Fabulous MC#2 on the 28th past -- and it will be 3 weeks until the next session, what with Upcoming European Getaway next week -- WAW has been verily bombarding me with emails and texts, some of which tread into Personal Territory. Not probing questions, but revealing information. "Revealing" defined broadly, by the way. As in, revealing things about her personal life, her interior dialog, etc.
I'm reluctant not to respond to these in some way -- if she's taking the chance I don't want to punish her for doing so -- but I'm also reluctant to be less Darkly for fear that I might seem over-enthusiastic in my replies, switching the dynamic back to WAS-pursuit rather than LBS-pursuit. But by the same token, since my "business-like" communication tone of months past has been an obvious grievance for her -- she brought it up specifically with Fabulous MC#2 -- I don't want to revert to that for lack of a reply, know what I mean?
So....advices? Suggestions? How does one draw a boundary without chasing the cat away?
