How much longer in Separated?

Thanks for the advice, that's good to learn.

I've been thinking about and processing some things, so I'll just post them here. W had been dropping some hints, or at least testing the waters lately. Questions like am I dating anyone, or have I had any offers. I said yes On the offers, but I'm not interested and kept it vague. W also mentioned a couple comments from her aunt while they have a TV girls night on Mondays. First, in response to a storyline she looked at W and said "wow, she's really second-guessing that divorce, isn't she?" in a loaded sort of way. There was another couple who lived in different houses in different cities, and in comment her Aunt said "it seems to be working in your marriage".

W said we shouldn't care what anyone thinks, and I agree. It was interesting that she cared to say it. I've been listening, trying not to say too much, and she's very appreciative of that. It's a definite change. At the same time, if given an opportunity like that again, I think I'll take it to express that I feel like we are dating, and it's fun and I don't care to date anyone else.

Just a couple hours before her grandma's stroke, she said her head was hurting and asked me to sing her a song. I had played it at a friend's wedding and mentioned it to her. She was choked up at the end, and said she'd better go, but I kept her talking for a little bit which was nice. Haven't heard from her today, and may not for a little while. To be honest, that hurts, so I'm trying to remember the progress that has been made.
