WHG, thanks for the advice. Interestingly enough, I had just given the same or similar advice to another person on this forum. It's it funny how we can give out the advice, but it's much harder to follow our own advice.
I was supposed to text her last night to remind her of something she needed to bring me. I decided not to txt her for a couple of reasons. First, I was out to dinner with a friend and then I went to her house to help her hang something on the wall (one of my GAL activities or goal of mine at least, is to become more handy lol) so I was busy. The second reason is that I knew she wasn't going to stop by and bring it today or any other definite day so I figured it might be good if I was supposed to text her once and "forgot" if that makes any sense. She probably didn't even notice but it was maybe a small victory to me.
After thinking more about the Christmas tree that she didn't comment on, I wonder if it didn't make her sad to see that I had put up decorations and such. That was something I never did before and I'm sure it took her a bit by surprise. Hopefully in a good way.
I do spend a lot of time analyzing what she says and does and I know that I don't need to do that and I'm going to work on trying to stop doing it. That's been one of the hardest things for me. i don't let her know that I'm doing it, but it's something I just deal with on my own.
