Well, had my IC session today. Nothing special. C did note that W's resigning her job is inconsistent with leaving the M. No guarantees, but in his experience, with independent minded women (my W definitely falls into that classification), they want to establish their independence, and fight very hard to keep it. One of those areas is being financially independent.
Anyway, did set my next IC session for six weeks out - C agreed I had hit a plateau, that I shoudl try to work in some dates with W. He also said although he did not think I was there yet, he could see the need to bring up the R if I got to a place where I felt like I was falling out of love with my W. I mentioned I was not quiting on the M, but could feel my attraction to W waning.
So on the date front, my W and I are big foodies. We love to cook and watch a few shows on The Food Network, one being Alton Brown's Good Eats. He is taping a 10th anniversary special here in town in late August. I will pick up tickets and set up the sitter, then tell her I have tickest and see if she wants to go.
W is continuing to warm up. More conversation. Like I told my C today, she seems more like the W of old (the good parts). She asked me tonight if I would be willing to let us have a cat. We have 2 dogs, and I have never had a cat. The kids have been talking about getting a cat all summer. I asked some questions, and then said it would be ok. Point is, she asked me, just like she asked me about the cake decorating class she will soon start.
Like I told the C, the separate bedrooms appears to be her last impenetrable fortress. No signs of any wavering there. I'm not pushing this. When she's ready, I think I will know. In the meantime, I will continue to live my life and enjoy it.
