I have learned that W gets stressed every night before bed, probably starting an hour or so out; she shared this fact with me a couple of days ago


Even if you think it doesn't mean much.....do you believe she may think you could expect sex from her?

She commented to me that she assumed I would have gone through her medication and figured it out…which I hadn’t and told her…and she said I know, I could tell my medications hadn’t been touched.


Never heard of such nonsense! But if she is on medication, that "could" explain some mood swings. I just wouldn't blame them all on meds.

The closest was “I feel bad” about the large xmas gift my parents gave us...and she genuinely did...this was about a week after Xmas.


But that has nothing to do with remorse over how she's treating you. So, onward march!

She has shown a few positive signs. If she is trying to detach from OM, that is adding to her stress level. But, I think I may have told you before that there is no tapering off with an EA. At least, I don't feel that it happens very often....if ever. I just hope that OM will do something to trip himself up, but he's probably experienced in long distant EA's. Keep a close eye b/c it may not be over.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
