Sitting at home with myself, part 2

2. She brought up our sleeping arrangement. She doesn't want to sleep in D5's bed every night because D5 will never go to sleep alone if that becomes a habit. Then she said that sleeping on the couch is really messing up her back. She said she had been fine with sharing the bed until I touched her arm almost 2 weeks ago, then realized that she was sending a mixed signal by doing so. She also told me she talked to her SIL who is studying to be a MC and told her we shouldn't be sharing the bed until W knows for sure that she wants to work on things between us. I told W that she's welcome to share the bed, but I'm not going to push her in any way. I understand where she's at and I don't think that sharing the bed is a mixed signal.

I recall going throughthe same thing.
SIL is correct, it's not good for D5 to be seeping with a parent.

It's also advised that you don't leave the bedroom.
It's her decision not to be there.


Hovering is AKA being a puppy dog. Give her more space. Be confident and be prepared for her decision to change on a dime.
It's how you handle those swings is what matters now.
You can do it. gr8
