Pei,

Just sort of perusing and this really stood out to me.

Please do not do this as a ploy.
Good point. It does seem like that doesn't it. I think I need to continue 180s and do a better job of GAL. If that means I'm a little less available for real, then so be it. And if H calls and I am available, and I want the time with the family and H, AND I can enjoy it without expectation then so be it!

Let this run it's course and do what you feel is best. If you can spend the time together and do it without having expectations, thoughts, about what it means, except hopefully an enjoyable time, do it.

THIS is going to by my focus.

When you were dating, did you spend every date and time leading up to the date, wondering if this meant you were gonna get married? Or did you just enjoy the moment?
Good point. Thank you. smile
