Wife has called me two times at work each of the last 2 days. I had not initiated any calls to her. She called me this morning to tell me that she really didn't want to got to work today. She has been feeling this way more and more lately and maybe a good sign re her ending the EA. In the past she has always been eager to get into work even when she was tired or sick.
I didn't press her on the reason why, just acknowledged that it is tough to get to work in the morning if you are not feeling motivated to do so. She continues to pursue getting a new job although one of the options is still with the same company.
I have not expressed any of my discomfort with her looking internally and have not told her that she needs to find a job with a new company. I have offered to help her update her resume which she was very appreciative of.
I am taking all of this as very small but still positive signs for the future.
In terms of GAL, I have recently embarked on a committment to go out for lunch once a week with co-workers. Although not intended, I seem to have no difficulty in finding female co-workers who are more than excited to go out for lunch with me. I have had 4 lunch "dates" with female co-workers over the past 5 weeks and as a result I am starting to re-appreciate the enjoyment of female companionship even if it is just for lunch and conversation.
